In Nigeria human waste or "night soil" is used to fertilise land where
fruit and vegetables are grown, also huts are daubed with this waste on
the walls. I`m not sure about it`s use as a fuel.

Methane (biogas) from e.g. cattle droppings mixed with water can be
used as a very clean heating and cooking fuel.

Plus elephant dung can be used for making paper.

Or artwork (e.g. Turner prize nominee/winner? a few years back)

In most parts of rural southern Africa cattle dung is used as a
flooring material as well as to make and decorate the walls of huts.
Virtually all of the rural communities use this method, particularly
in areas where there is only short seasonal rain or it is very dry.

The Masai in East-Africa are known to build houses with cow dung.

Google.

I lived in both the Niger Delta and Northern Nigeria, one of the
things we had to do was wash all vegetables, salads and some fruits in
a solution of Milton ( a sterilising chemical) because the land where
these vegetables were grown was fertilised by human waste. The Ghanaians
also use the same system and there are probably other countries that do
the same. If you do a search you should get more help.

A quick google on 'biogas Africa' yields 196000 results.
The first two page search results feature, specifically South Africa,
southern Sudan, Mali, Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic,
Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania.
I'm sure you can get lots of information to support your research.
