Summary. This study compared cooking energy use between rural and urban households in Ogun State, Nigeria, surveying 300 households. Rural areas rely heavily on firewood and charcoal, while urban areas use more electricity and gas. Education, household income, distance to energy sources, and fuel prices significantly shape energy choices. The researchers recommend reducing fuel prices and supporting low-income households to adopt cleaner cooking energy sources.
