Lagos State Government, corporate institutions and well-meaning Nigerians have continued to pour commendations on Ecobank, the pan-African bank for its effort on ridding the streets and waterways of Lagos of bio-degradable plastic bottles.
Ecobank was at the weekend presented with the 2019 CSR Marble Award of Excellence at an event organized by a renowned public relations company, AS+A Communications in Lagos.
In marking its sustainability week this year, Ecobank Nigeria has asked residents of Lagos State to bring used plastic materials, soft drink and water bottles amongst others to its Corporate head office in Victoria Island, Lagos, in exchange for cash.
According to the bank, the objective is to remove non-biodegradable materials from the environment towards a healthy and safe living.
The bank stated that its target was to remove four million used PET bottles from the streets and drains of Lagos through this initiative.
