Abstract Clean cooking fuels and technologies are crucial for tackling environmental degradation, climate change, deforestation, health issues, air pollution, poverty. However, many African countries, including Nigeria, continue to face significant challenges in accessing these resources. Existing research provides limited insights into the factors influencing adoption of clean technologies, particularly when analyzed through macroeconomic indicators from 2000 2022. Due nature data, nonlinear techniques were employed uncover associations. Specifically, innovative Wavelet Kernel Regularized Least Squares method was applied examine impact financial development, renewable energy consumption, information communication technology (ICT), political risk on access (ACE). Additionally, wavelet quantile cointegration introduced assess relationships among variables. The results reveal that economic growth has a minimal ACE short term but becomes more over time. ICT positively influences medium long term, while development tends reduce ACE. Renewable consumption promotes ACE, whereas impedes it term. improvements stability significantly enhance run. These findings form basis policy recommendations proposed study.
