The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has sealed several establishments, including churches and bakeries, across the state.

The enforcement operation, conducted in areas such as Mushin, Amuwo Odofin, and Okota Isolo, targeted facilities violating environmental regulations.

In a statement released on Thursday, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) announced its efforts to combat noise pollution and other environmental violations.

The sealed establishments include Daily Bakery, Redeemed Christian Church of God, GAK Universal Allied Limited, Ideal Standard, Franjane Royal Suites, Golden Haven Resort & Suites, Festival Hotel Conference Center & SPA, FS Service Centre, and Moulin Rouge Ventures at Olivia Mall.

LASEPA explained that the establishments were shut down for failing to comply with environmental standards, despite prior notices from the agency.

Speaking on the enforcement, Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, General Manager of LASEPA, reiterated the agency’s zero-tolerance policy for activities that jeopardise public health and community harmony.

“Environmental protection is a shared responsibility,” Dr. Ajayi stated.

“As a government agency, we are dedicated to enforcing all necessary measures to ensure compliance with environmental laws. Noise pollution, improper siting of hazardous facilities, and other infractions significantly impact public health and quality of life. We urge businesses and individuals to prioritize compliance and adopt sustainable practices.”

However, Ajayi encouraged Lagos residents to report environmental violations through LASEPA’s official channels, emphasizing the importance of collective action in preserving the environment.

“This operation reflects LASEPA’s steadfast determination to uphold environmental laws and safeguard the well-being of Lagosians.
“The agency assures the public of its continued efforts to create a cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable Lagos,” he added.
