Abia State Govt Denies Banning The Use Of "Takeaway" Plates by Metrix147: 7:43pm On Jan 28, 2024
The Abia State says it has not placed a ban of the use of styrofoam foils, popularly known as "takeaway" plates which restaurants mostly use to package foods.

The state government through the Ministry of Environment however warned residents on the environmental hazards associated with the single-use foil.

This is contained in a statement on Friday made available to ABN TV signed by the Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Philemon Asonye Ogbonna.

He said, "Following the reports of the obvious health hazards discovered nationally concerning the product called Styrofoam, and popularly known as Take Away Foil, which some States including Lagos State has banned the use of, the Government of Abia State through the Ministry of Environment, wishes to sensitise the general public on the danger of the use of the said Styrofoam, and advise the immediate discontinuous use of it as food containers until further investigations are fully carried out."

"Immediate Discontinuation of use" and "ban" can be used interchangeably.

We need further clarifications from the Hon. Commissioner?
