In a significant turn of events, the Federal Government has announced a ban on single-use plastics across all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, MDAs.
The Minister of State for Environment, Iziaq Adekunle Salako, disclosed this on Tuesday while briefing State House correspondents at the end of the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to Salako, 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.
