The Lagos State Government has confiscated banned single-use plastics from several supermarkets across different parts of the state.
The state Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a video shared on X on Wednesday.
The video revealed the enforcement officers confiscating single-use plastics, cups, and products with attached single use plastic straws.
Wahab’s caption read, “Our enforcement team today visited Blenco Supermarket in Lekki to enforce the ban on single use plastics.
In another post he said: Our 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 State’s 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.
