The increasing use of fuel wood by households in Nigeria is of the high side. From 139578000cu meters in 2007 to 1777996000cu meters in 2016 . It's soaring repercussions in the socio-economic milieu of micro environment of Nigeria is alarming. Therefore, the front matter of this paper is to examine the continuous burning of fuel wood and its contributing effect to global warming . The objectives are: to identify and compare the use of fuel wood and natural gas as sources of domestic energy in the study area to assess the impact of fuel wood consumption on forest sustainability, to suggest possible solutions such as swapping natural gas for fuel wood as domestic source of energy in Nigeria. The research work based its targeted population on elites which is about 12.6 million. This based on the sample size of table of the research advisors, a total of 705 copies of questionnaire were administered to respondents through soft copy sent on Google and other social media handles. Special Package For Social Scientists (SPSS)was applied through authormatic process of data from Google. Result of the research showed that that fuel wood is still consumed in high quantity. Although many homes now have cooking gas of varying sizes, nevertheless, they still support their cooking with the use of fuel wood for financial reasons. The research work therefore recommends that the government should as a matter of urgency reduce the price of cooking gas to make it affordable for all and sundry. Also, laws should be enacted and enforced against the consumption of fuel wood for energy source. This will go a long way to eradicate gas fliring thereby making a sustainable environment highly achievable.
