The state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has said that super markerts around the LGA of Kosofe in Lagos were shut down for the use of single-use plastics for sales.
Tokunbo, who disclosed this online, said
‘’Our enforcement teams continued operations today across multiple locations in Kosofe LGA to ensure full compliance with the Lagos State ban on Single-Use Plastics (SUPs).
Winny Supermarket has been sealed, with all SUP materials confiscated for non-compliance. Similarly, Afia Supermarket at Tipper Garage, Ketu, and Beyond Tastee2Go Restaurant on Ogudu Road, Ojota were sealed on Tuesday, October 29, 2025, after repeated warnings were ignored.
This ongoing exercise is part of our broader effort to curb plastic pollution, protect the environment, and promote a sustainable waste management culture in Lagos. Businesses are urged to transition to eco-friendly alternatives as the state intensifies enforcement.
Our goal remains clear; to safeguard public health and protect our environment for a #CleanerLagos and a #GreaterLagos.’’
