The Lagos State Government has said it will begin the full enforcement of the ban on single-use plastics on July 1.
The Commissioner for Environment, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a statement on X on Monday.
He explained that the state government had been intentional and strategic with 18 months of dialogue, engagement and transition.
Wahab noted that within the space of almost 18 months, the government had a series of stakeholdersโ engagements with marketers and producers of these products.
The state government in January 2024, banned the use of Styrofoam across the state, a decision that elicited reactions from residents, especially traders in deal in the sale of the product. (Channels)
