The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) says its operatives have sealed off several lounges, hotels, and churches over alleged noise pollution.
NAN reports that Babatunde Ajayi, LASEPA’s general manager, in a statement, said the establishments were sealed due to persistent noise pollution and other environmental infractions.
Ajayi said the enforcement drive focused on areas like Ogudu, Ojota, Apapa, and Alapere areas of Lagos.
“The agency’s enforcement team carried out operations in various locations, targeting businesses and institutions that failed to comply with the state’s environmental regulations,” the statement reads.
“As a result, several establishments including lounges, bars, hotels, religious centres, retail outlets, fast-food centres, motor servicing centres, and logistics companies were shut down for violating environmental laws.”
The affected establishments are Flame Gospel Ministry International, Degra Eng/Electronics, B B Arena Hotel, Becfom Hotel, LA Megga Foods, 3C Hub, and Kamara’s Lounge.
Others include Quincy Int’l Hotel, Hotel De Julianna, J & A Hotel, Bulus Hotel & Century Night Club, Rich Trust Hotel, Gilly’s Guest House, Stac Marine Offshore, Arc Motors Servicing, GHK Logistics Base, Folade Hotels, and Deyus Place.
Ajayi noted that the agency is committed to fostering a cleaner, safer and healthier environment for all Lagos residents.
He urged businesses and institutions to adhere to environmental regulations to avoid sanctions.
“Noise pollution and other environmental infractions disrupt the peace and well-being of our communities,” he said.
“This enforcement action reinforces our zero-tolerance stance against violators and underscores our dedication to upholding environmental laws.”
