Ban of Take-Away Packs: Lagos orders clampdown on manufacturers, distributors

Following its ban on the usage and distribution of Styrofoam and other single-use plastics, the Lagos State government has ordered a clampdown on all production companies and distribution outlets within the state.

This is to prevent further distribution of the banned products.

The state Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, in a personally signed statement on Sunday, directed the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) and the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) to immediately commence the implementation of the ban.
