LASEPA seals off Lagos companies for environmental violations
The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has sealed four establishments for violating environmental regulations in Lagos.
The agency announced the enforcement in a statement posted on X on Thursday.
LASEPA said the affected establishments operated in the Ijora Causeway and Apapa areas of the state.
It said the facilities were sealed after persistently violating environmental regulations despite repeated warnings and abatement notices.
The agency said it gave the companies several opportunities to comply with its directives before the enforcement.
According to LASEPA, the facilities failed to implement corrective measures the agency issued.
The sealed establishments include Helmar Building Materials at 8 Ijora Causeway, Ijora, Laprivad Nigeria, behind Funky Yetty along Ijora Causeway, and Innocast Nigeria on Saka Alao Street, Apapa.
Also sealed were Body Language Shipping and Cargo on Liverpool Road, Apapa.
LASEPA said the enforcement underscored its commitment to ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and protecting public health across the state.
