Minister of State for Environment, Iziaq Adekunle Salako, disclosed this to journalists after the Federal Executive Council (FEC), which was presided over by President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.
Mr Salako emphasised that this ban aligns with the government’s broader plastic waste management strategy.
