Friday, July 3, 2026 - The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has sealed 10 additional establishments across the state for repeated violations of environmental regulations, including noise pollution, air pollution and the discharge of untreated effluent.
In a post on its official X page on Thursday, July 2, the
enforcement operation, carried out on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, followed
repeated warnings, abatement notices and several opportunities granted to the
affected businesses to comply with the agency’s environmental directives.
According to the Lagos State Government, the exercise was
aimed at enforcing environmental laws and safeguarding public health.
LASEPA said the affected establishments were found guilty of
various environmental infractions, including excessive noise pollution, air
pollution, unlawful discharge of untreated effluent into public drains,
obstruction of official duties and persistent non-compliance with regulatory
directives.
The sealed facilities include Granduer Meridian, Ipaja;
Lasola (Spazio Bar), Ipaja; Millennium Restaurant, Ayobo; O2 Exquisite Suites
& Tower, Akowonjo; Chirozz Hotel & Suites, Egbeda; House 7 Hotel,
Egbeda; House 48, Egbeda; Exclusive Hotel, Akesan; Sabola Ventures Limited,
Igando; and City Int’l Motel, Idimu.
The agency disclosed that Sabola Ventures Limited was shut
down for operating without an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and discharging
untreated effluent into public drainage systems, while several other
establishments were sealed over persistent noise pollution and failure to
comply with environmental regulations.
The latest enforcement comes just days after the Lagos State
Government shut down 12 other establishments across the state for similar
environmental offences, including noise pollution, air pollution, obstruction
of official duties and continued disregard for environmental laws.
He warned that LASEPA would continue to intensify monitoring
and enforcement against individuals and organisations whose activities endanger
public health and the environment.
Ajayi also urged business owners, facility operators and
residents to adopt environmentally responsible practices, comply with all
regulatory requirements and cooperate with the agency in its efforts to build a
cleaner, healthier and more sustainable Lagos.
