In a remarkable move towards environmental sustainability, the Lagos State Ministry of Environment, in collaboration with the Hepzibarian Women Initiative, has officially flagged off the ban on styrofoam and single-use plastics—a bold step in protecting our environment, public health, and future generations.

Among the distinguished voices at the event was Dr. Yetunde Adeniji, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on School Feeding, who passionately emphasized the impact of plastic pollution on food safety and the well-being of children. Her advocacy for sustainable alternatives and cleaner communities reflects her unwavering commitment to a healthier Nigeria.

This initiative is more than a policy—it’s a movement for change! With strong leadership, collective responsibility, and public engagement, we can build a future free from plastic waste hazards.

Kudos to Dr. Yetunde Adeniji, Lagos State, and all stakeholders championing this cause! Let’s join hands in embracing sustainability and protecting our planet.
