The Sustainable Research and Action for Environmental Development (SRADev Nigeria) has commended the Lagos State Government for making a monumental stride in environmental protection with full enforcement of the ban on single-use plastics.

This is contained in a statement shared on its Facebook page on Tuesday, July 1,2025.

The statement described the decision as a bold policy move that would ensure environmental protection.

“This bold policy move is a critical win in Nigeria’s fight against plastic pollution and a major leap toward achieving a circular economy and protecting public health and the environment.

“At SRADev Nigeria, we celebrate this milestone and call on other states to follow suit.

“Together, we can #BeatPlasticPollution and build a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable Nigeria,” it said.

The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, said at a news conference on Tuesday that many believed the government would consider another shift in the date after about 18 months moratorium.

Wahab said the ban of styrofoam in the state was for the safety and well being of Lagos residents.

“Lagos has not banned the production of all the categories of plastics in the state. The producers and dealers have the option of selling them outside the state,” Wahab said.

He listed the items banned by the state to include styrofoam, disposable cups and cutlery, light weight nylon bags, amongst others.

“If after 18 months moratorium, the producers have not been able to embrace alternatives to SUPs, it only means they have no intention of complying,” Wahab said.
