 Ouattara wants 'to continue' as Côte d'Ivoire's President Côte d'Ivoire President Alassane Ouattara said on Thursday he would like to continue serving his country as president but emphasised that his party had not yet made a formal decision on its candidate for this year's election, TRT Afrika reported. Ouattara, 83, was re-elected for a third term in 2020 following a 2016 constitutional referendum allowing him to extend his rule. During the last election, Ouattara had argued that the approval of the new constitution allowed him to restart his mandate. He has previously said he would like to step down, but also suggested he would need old rivals to commit to withdrawing from politics too. "I am in good health and eager to continue serving my country," he said in an address to the diplomatic corps in Abidjan, the strongest signal yet that he plans to stand again.

 ShopRite across Lagos ends nylon bag use, adopts reusable bags under single-use plastic ban


Shoppers visiting ShopRite supermarkets across Lagos State this January 2025 have noticed a significant change; the retail chain no longer provides nylon bags for groceries.


Instead, customers are offered the option of purchasing reusable shopping bags for N500 each or using shopping bags they bring from home.

A Lagos shopper, @Bisolaa, highlighted the development on X on January 3, 2025, stating, “ShopRite no longer offers nylon bags for your groceries based on Lagos State ban on single-use plastics.”  

A comment under her post confirmed the update, with another user sharing a similar experience at a different ShopRite location.


A representative, they stated it was in compliance with the ban from the Lagos State Government.


Other supermarkets in Lagos, like Ebeano and Spar, were still providing nylon bags

This development follows the Lagos State Government’s October 2024 announcement that it would begin full enforcement of the ban on single-use plastics, including nylon bags and styrofoam food containers, starting January 2025.

Although the ban had been in place, the October directive marked the government’s intent to strictly implement the policy across the state.
