Chicken Republic urges its customers to bring their plates in support of the single-use plastics and styrofoam ban by the Lagos government.
On Monday, Chicken Republic shared a press statement on its Instagram page from their parent company, Food Concepts PLC, featuring commendations supporting the styrofoam ban.
The post was captioned, “Na so e be now. Feel free to come with your own plates. We are always at your service.”
The Nigerian fast food company also posted a picture of the press release on their Instagram story, saying, “Dear confam citizens, get your plates ready…Don’t forget to tag us, when you go get your food with your plates.”
According to the statement, the styrofoam ban will be immediately implemented in Lagos for walk-in and online orders.
“Effective immediately, all our outlets in Lagos will commence the transition from using Styrofoam packs for both walk-in and online orders,” the post stated.
It added that customers would pay for “reusable plastic takeaway containers.”
Some customers found the idea of bringing their plates to an eatery amusing.
An Instagram user, @asquare_cakesntreats, said, “Make I bring plate come eatery??? Some sort of joke? Use paper plates!”
Another netizen, Ronke_001, stated, “E con be like canteen ahh.”
A commenter, realestatewith_annie said, “Why can’t you use customised paper packs. Instead of asking clients to come with plate… Is it mama put you are selling is that the standard now… Shuuu.”
