KAI busts styrofoam warehouse in Mushin

Operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps also known as KAI, on Tuesday, busted a styrofoam warehouse at Ojuwoye Market in Mushin.

The state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, who revealed this, noted that the owner brought in the banned styrofoam to market in the early hours of Tuesday.

The government had in January announced a ban on the use and distribution of styrofoam and other single-use plastics across the state.

Styrofoam is widely used to manufacture disposable plates used in eateries.

The government’s decision was reached following the menace that single-use plastics especially non-biodegradable styrofoam were causing on the environment.

Giving an update on the intervention on his X.com handle, Wahab wrote, “Based on intelligence gathering, the operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps discovered a styrofoam warehouse at Ojuwoye Market in Mushin. The owner brought the banned styrofoam to the market in the early hours of today (Tuesday). The products have been confiscated and taken to the KAI office in Oshodi for incineration.

“The Lagos State government @followlasg is reiterating its commitment to ensuring a healthy, cleaner and safer environment for all Lagosians.”
