FG bans single-use plastics in Federal MDAs
The use of single-use plastics has been outlawed by the federal government in all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). This was revealed by Iziaq Adekunle Salako, the Minister of State for the Environment, to State House media during President Bola Tinubu’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Salako said the ban aligns with the government’s broader plastic waste management strategy.
According to him
“This initiative demonstrates our commitment to addressing the triple threat of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.”
The minister highlighted the severity of plastic pollution in Nigeria, describing it as “a major issue in our country”.
