Lagos state government enforces ban on single-use plastics, confiscate items from supermarkets

The Lagos State Government has seized banned single-use plastics from some supermarkets in different areas of the state.  The state Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a video shared on his X handle today September 3. The video revealed the enforcement officers confiscating single-use plastics, cups, and products with attached single use plastic straws. Posting the video on X, Wahab wroteOur Enforcement Team today visited Blenco Supermarket in Lekki to enforce the ban on Single Use Plastics (SUP). This action is part of our wider efforts to ensure compliance with the States directive on phasing out SUP, which poses serious environmental risks and worsens flooding across Lagos. The team also visited Blend and Temple Hill Supermarkets in Ire-Akari, Jendol Supermarket in Jakande Estate, Ejigbo and Lastprize and Reno supermarkets situated in Liasu Road in Idimu. We will continue to monitor, enforce, and work with businesses to adopt sustainable alternatives that safeguard our environment.''     View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Lindaikejiblog (@lindaikejiblogofficial) The post Lagos state government enforces ban on single-use plastics, confiscate items from supermarkets appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
