Lagos to enforce ban on single-use plastics in two weeks

He also noted that the ban had already shown positive effects, saying, “Littering, especially with Styrofoam, has reduced compared to when enforcement of its ban initially started.”

Discussing the condition of the Ilubirin Pump Station, Wahab said: “In fairness to the government, we saw the level of degradation. There was infrastructure built by Julius Berger under a government contract, properly done with a road network, functional drainage, and walkways. However, bad human behaviour clogged up the system.”

The inspection tour, Wahab explained, was essential as part of preparations for the Governor’s re-award of the Lagos Island infrastructure regeneration project. “This tour became necessary to ensure the contractors are ready to commence and to see if the contract period can be abridged,” he concluded.
