So what is the alternative?

Beremx:
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!!

First thing that came to.my mind, recycle, why can't they make provision for recycling rather than outright ban..

Wahala country

Anyway God bless the good people of Southsouth and Southwest

God bless Israel for doing the lord's work

thesicilian:
They should ban water completely as well.

so make we kuku go buy thst water bottle that those primary school pupils dey carry around.

Encourage more recycling instead of outright ban

Nigerians and sachet pure water be like 5&6

Maybe Nigeria bad public cleanliness habit has made d pure water block many drainages and ofc causes dirt everywhere.

One of the problem with us is that we don't know how to manage waste.

Government that cannot fix any street road is banning pure water.

I Love it . We are teaching Gbadebo Rhode Vivor a bitter lesson

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 bottled water.

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.

Sometimes you Tinubu lackeys ehn..


So if you ban Satchet water, what are the alternatives?? Tap or rain water?

Although we know Tap water doesnt work in Lagos state

This is the most ridiculous news I have read today.

You didn’t provide pipe borne water, no tap water, and yet you are banning the not-to cheap source of clean drinking water from the majority of your residents.

Someone should remind him that in recent past we used to drink “ice water” until NAFDAC came up with this semi regulated industry of Pure Water Sachets and bottle water. If they ban both, especially pure water, they better pass water to every home in Lagos.

Also, no body is considering the health implications, only environment. Diarrhea and dysentery used to be so common, lol.

Lagos government is not sensitive or sensible concerning this pure water and PET bottle matter.,..Do they know the millions of people that will be affected from manufacturers to wholesalers to retailers even poor consumers

Ah

Wahala

JASONjnr:
Omo, hardship upon hardship.....

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


Tinubu legacies speaking for him ..

Just hear yourself, u want the best for the country but don't want to leave the old style

SatoshiX:
Are you kidding me?
But what about the economical implications on the lower class?

wetin concern them concern lower class.

Abeg, if you cannot afford it, go back to your village. To live in Lagos no be by force.


Them think they were doing the non indigenes. The breakfast must go round

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.

Please expound on the emboldened. Particularly its commerciality, viability, portability (health implication of its usage) and also citing examples. We are here to learn.

Lmao Shey na whyning be this one

Nigerian government and politicians restructuring in reverse. The effective way in any system is to provide a sustainable alternative taking the poor and low income earners into consideration before implementing a new policy or ban. Nigerian government have not provided clean pipe borne water to every home reach and they are quick to ban pure water just because they can afford bottled water. Can a minimum income earner with a family of 4 afford bottled water for daily home use?

Helinues your people go hear am😂😂

It's not everyone that can afford bottled water oh. Governor sanwo olu should rethink this decision.

You're very right. A friend of mine traveled to Sweden many years ago for football trial and he had to pick pet bottles in order to raise money for him to buy things back home. In fact he said there is a machine that calculates everything pay instantly. Our government needs to learn a lot

Is bottle water safe to drink

You hardly see plastic waste these days, some persons have taken it as means of survival, picking plastics anywhere, Lagos govt should think it through, creating recycling plants should make more economic sense.

Instead of banning this on the basis of environment pollution, why not find ways to ensure proper sanitation and disposal...!

It's not like you guys have in place a better alternative for the citizens as well as a solution for the job losses looming.

Good one. They should ban all plastic bags AKA nylon.

Lol.. Clowns.
