Plastic ban: LASG defends sales of packing bags in malls (Punch)
The Lagos State Government has come under fire for allowing the sale of plastic bags in malls despite a ban on single-use plastics in the state. The ban was put in place to reduce plastic pollution and protect the environment. However the government has defended the sale of these bags stating that they are biodegradable and meet the required standards. They also argue that the ban only applies to single-use plastics and the bags sold in malls are reusable. The government is facing criticism for not enforcing the ban strictly and for not promoting more sustainable alternatives to plastic bags.
