"When it gets that hot, I often feel dizzy and faint," said Lateefat Rasaq, a civil servant in Lagos. "I'm not just worried about myself—I fear for my children's safety."
Nigeria is experiencing faster rates of warming due to climate change, straining its population. A study identifies Nigeria as one of five countries facing extreme heat exposure risks.
As temperatures increase, Nigeria's population, expected to grow to 400 million by 2050, will demand more cooling solutions amid worsening energy shortages and limited accessibility.
Only about 60% of Nigerians have access to electricity, and many often face power outages, leaving them without basic cooling methods like fans.
