Lagos to ban single-use plastics, sachet water from January 2025
The Lagos State Government has announced its plans to ban the circulation of single-use plastics and sachet water starting January 2025.
The state Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, confirmed the upcoming ban during a stakeholders’ workshop on implementing the ban on Styrofoam and single-use plastics (SUPs) for packaging on Thursday, October 3.
Wahab said the move is part of the government’s strategy to introduce policy guidelines for managing plastic waste, which the goal is to create a healthier and more sustainable environment.
However, stakeholders have urged the government to consider a phased implementation rather than an outright ban. They believe this will ensure better compliance and ease the burden during current economic challenges.
