The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency has sealed 10 establishments across the state for allegedly violating the state’s environmental laws.

The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab disclosed this in a post on his X handle on Wednesday.

Mr Wahab wrote, “In a decisive step towards tackling noise pollution and other environmental violations, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) @LasepaOfficial today sealed off multiple establishments across various parts of Lagos State.”

He said the establishments sealed include, Vital Products Limited, A & P Nigeria Limited, Polite Anchorage and Suites, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Terrag Inn Apartment, Evening Class Guest House, Celestial Church of God, a printing press, Charley’s Bar, and 7th Heaven Hotel & Suites.

According to Mr Wahab, the sealed establishments “were found guilty of violating environmental regulations despite several warnings from LASEPA.”

He said the enforcement operation, carried out in Ikeja, Mushin, Gbagada, and Maryland was part of the agency’s resolve to ensure compliance with environmental laws and protection of public health.

He stated that LASEPA would not tolerate non-compliance with its regulations, adding that the General Manager, Babatunde Ajayi, advised businesses to recognise their environmental responsibilities and collaborate with the state government to ensure a cleaner and more sustainable state.
