  King Charles has attended an Advent Service at Westminster Abbey, highlighting themes of Advent ecumenicism, and the experience of persecuted Christians.  The congregation included Christian leaders from across the UK and the world; members of Anglican Clergy; and representatives of other faiths and charities. An Advent message from His Majesty The King, featured in this morning’s Order of Service at Westminster Abbey.: "It is a great joy to gather with you in the most glorious setting of Westminster Abbey as we celebrate the light, hope and, above al, the peace of this secason of Advent. This period is one of preparation, of readying oUrselves and looking forvward to the wonder of Christ's birth. Today, we gather for prayer, reflection and music, and to celebrate the Good News in which all Christians rejoice: those around us, and those in areas where it is not easy to live out one's faith. I am so pleased to be joined by church leaders from across the UK and Middle East...

 Lagos begins enforcement of ban on single-use plastics July 1


The Lagos State Government has said it will begin the full enforcement of the ban on single-use plastics on July 1. The Commissioner for Environment, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a statement on X on Monday.


He explained that the state government had been intentional and strategic with 18 months of dialogue, engagement and transition. Wahab noted that within the space of almost 18 months, the government had a series of stakeholders’ engagements with marketers and producers of these products.


The state government in January 2024, banned the use of Styrofoam across the state, a decision that elicited reactions from residents, especially traders in deal in the sale of the product. But the commissioner said the government had given an ample time to align with global best practices, noting that what is unacceptable elsewhere cannot become standard in Lagos.


“We re-emphasised this stand during a courtesy visit by management of TETRA PAK West Africa Limited, led by the Managing Director, Haithem Debbiche.


“This is about environmental responsibility. And we have given an ample time to align with global best practices. What is unacceptable elsewhere cannot become standard in Lagos. We must protect our future and do what is right for the greater good.
