Background of the Study
The global transition to clean energy is critical for mitigating climate change, improving public health, and fostering sustainable development. In Nigeria, the adoption of clean energy solutions such as solar power, energy-efficient appliances, and clean cooking methods is gaining momentum, but awareness remains low in rural areas like Gwarzo Local Government Area (LGA) in Kano State. Advertising plays a pivotal role in bridging this awareness gap by educating communities about the benefits of clean energy and encouraging its adoption.
Mass media, social media, and community-based advertising campaigns have proven effective in promoting clean energy usage. According to Adeyemi and Usman (2023), advertising campaigns that highlight economic savings, health benefits, and environmental sustainability are more likely to resonate with rural audiences. This study examines how advertising influences awareness and attitudes toward clean energy in Gwarzo LGA, offering insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to accelerate the clean energy transition.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the availability of clean energy technologies, their adoption in Gwarzo LGA remains limited due to low awareness and socio-cultural barriers. While advertising has been employed to promote clean energy, its impact is often undermined by poorly targeted messages, lack of cultural relevance, and limited reach.
Research by Yusuf et al. (2024) emphasizes that effective advertising is crucial for overcoming misconceptions about clean energy and demonstrating its value. This study addresses the gap by exploring the role of advertising in driving awareness and adoption of clean energy solutions in Gwarzo LGA.
