The minister nominee for Environment, Science, and Technology, Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, has stated that it would not be advisable to immediately ban the use of plastic materials in the country without first finding an alternative.
He believes that the eradication of plastic usage can only be achieved once suitable alternatives are found and the transition is carried out gradually.
He cautioned against imposing an immediate ban, as this could lead to undesirable outcomes. "You don't just ban something because there is a challenge.
You need to look for alternatives.
