The Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, has uncovered a warehouse filled with packs of styrofoams.
This was contained in an X post by the State’s Commissioner of the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, on Tuesday.
According to Tokunbo, this is following a tip off by a whistleblower
The warehouse was discovered at No 6 Ogusefunmi Street off Nurudeen Street, Anifowoshe, Ikeja.
“The building is being used for storing the banned styrofoam packs.
“The operatives of the @LAGESCOfficial have confiscated the packs.”
NPO reports that the Lagos State Government has since January announced a ban on the usage and distribution of styrofoam and other single-use plastics in the State with immediate effect.
