Pet bottles cannot be banned in Nigeria. Even more developed countries have not banned it, instead they are collected, recycled and used for other products.
I watched a documentary where pet bottles when recycled are used for road construction in Singapore.

Nonsense and banning everything!!

Olatara:
Nope, they are not. Buy quality water from known Mall. I wont do road side.

Aqua fina is good too, even gossy.

It is actually brilliant and it's effect is positive on the environment and their livelihoods.
Single Use Plastics are more expensive and the social cost is becoming unbearable to the rest of us not in the sectors profiting from the use of SUPs. The sachet water has since outlived its usefulness and has turned to complete nuisance apart from making water more expensive.
These old archaic environmental practices need to give way and I am profoundly proud that my Lagos State is taking the lead.

The waste has started reducing since the ban on Styrofoam and once we sort out the SUP of bottled water and waste sachet from pure water, we would have solved a huge environmental and economic problem.

The bottled water can come in cheap reusable plastics while sachet water will suddenly become more expensive so the stakeholders now earn more margins as more people move to reusable bottled water and later biodegradable containers.

Jan 2025 is long enough advance notice and I urge the stakeholders to cooperate with the Lagos State Government.

This is the best time to invest in Lagos. Invest in Lagos for great returns on your investment and best investor-friendly experience in Nigeria and Africa.

Omo, hardship upon hardship.....

So, ordinary Nigerians that can not afford bottle water will have to die of thirst.... So that Lagos state will be a clean city and be competing with UK ..

Why do we take decisions without considering the masses?

Proper waste management and enforcement should be the way to go, not banning things indiscriminately.

I was surprised when I went to Texas and saw they still use styrofoam plastics that were banned in Lagos.

If u still dey Texas u no know wetin God do for u

In the US, almost everything is packaged with plastics, (meat, fish, vegetables, etc.) for selling in the malls, as they do not have open markets.

Yes, I agree that plastic use should be refused, but what is the plan for businesses. What is the plan for the street woman who sells purewater to feed?

How about we work on recycling and reusing?

Interest of the people should always be at the center of all decisions.

Olatara:
They should ban that pure water, it almost killed me. I stool for 2 days. Nah pocaris sweat save me.

Pure water is a no no.

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

When same ordinary man could not receive I'm a simple way definitely in hard way it shall be delivered to him. We are too dirty in Nigeria and we don't care about our environment and at the end we blame govt for nonchalant attitude. When people buy bottle water or pure water especially while in the traffic they littered the road with nylon of bottle and when you try to sensitise them they will insult you.
