The Lagos State Government has sealed three supermarkets in Kosofe for breaching the ban on single-use plastics, reinforcing its ongoing campaign against plastic pollution.
Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, announced the action on X on Wednesday, explaining that the exercise was aimed at ensuring strict adherence to the state’s environmental laws.
Wahab said enforcement teams conducted inspections across multiple locations in the Kosofe Local Government Area and discovered several businesses operating in violation of the regulations.
“Winny Supermarket has been sealed, and all single-use plastic materials were confiscated for non-compliance,” he stated.
He further noted that Afia Supermarket at Tipper Garage, Ketu, and Beyond Tastee2Go Restaurant on Ogudu Road, Ojota, were also sealed on Tuesday, October 29, 2025, after repeated warnings were ignored.
