Nigerians have been advised to desist from the indiscriminate disposal of plastics and nylons.
The Zonal Coordinator, South West, Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, Alhaji Garba Shitu-Ahmad gave the advice while speaking on this year World Consumer Right Day in Oshogbo.
Alhaji Shitu-Ahmad speaking on the theme “No To Plastic Pollution” said the world is facing a global plastic pollution crisis.
While noting that plastic can be a highly useful material in everyday life, he remarked that consumption and production of plastics have however become unsustainable.
He said now is a critical time in highlighting, addressing, and tackling plastic pollution as the global COVID-19 pandemic adds to the rise of single-use plastics including face masks, gloves, and food packaging.
Alhaji Shitu-Ahmad said this year World Consumer Rights Day is a call to consumers to join together to tackle Plastic Pollution.
World Consumer Rights Day is an annual occasion dedicated to highlighting the power of consumers and their rights for a fair, safe and sustainable marketplace for everyone.
