Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s led government of Lagos State has declared a further three-week extension to implementing the prohibition on styrofoam and other disposable plastics. The latest development was confirmed in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab. Naija News reports that the Lagos state government initially announced the immediate ban on styrofoam and other single-use plastics on January 21, citing concerns for the environment and public health. Despite previous restrictions on styrofoam usage in Lagos, Wahab confirmed the state’s determination to enforce the ban. He highlighted the extensive damage caused by single-use plastics to public infrastructure, particularly during and after the rainy season.
