Task Force intensifies enforcement of ban on single-use plastics in Lagos
The Task Force on environment in Lagos State on Monday intensified the enforcement of the ban on single-use plastics at Oniwaya Market, Agege.
The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources in the State, Tokunbo Wahab, emphasised that the exercise is being followed by extensive advocacy to give traders and residents in the state time to adjust to the new environmental policy.
According to the Commissioner @tokunbo_wahab,
“We are currently at Oniwaya Market in Agege enforcing the ban on Single-Use Plastics (SUP). This follows an extensive advocacy to give traders and residents time to adjust.
“The ban is now fully in effect. Single-use plastics block our drainage, worsen flooding, and endanger our environment. Enforcement will continue across markets and communities, and we will not relent until compliance is total.
“We appeal to all residents to embrace reusable alternatives. Together, we can build a safer, healthier, and more sustainable Lagos.”
