June 25, (THEWILL) – The federal government has announced a ban on single-use plastics across all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
Minister of State for Environment, Iziaq Adekunle Salako, disclosed this to State House Correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC), a meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja on Tuesday.
Salako, who highlighted the severity of plastic pollution in Nigeria, describing it as “a major issue in our country”, said the ban aligns with the government’s broader plastic waste management strategy.
“This initiative demonstrates our commitment to addressing the triple threat of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution”, he said.
