The Lagos State government has banned the usage and distributions of Styrofoam otherwise known as ‘Form pack’ and other single use plastics with immediate effect.
This is being announced today, Sunday by the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab in a statement he personally signed.
According to Wahab, the decision was reached following the menace which the single use plastics especially the non-biogradeable Styrofoam was causing on the environment.
He added that most drainage channels in the state are daily clogged up by Styrofoam through its indiscriminate distribution and usage despite the regular cleaning and evacuation of the drains with humongous amounts.
