Although the state’s air quality may not be at its best, LASEPA promised Lagos residents that it is making every effort to improve it.
With a score of 103% (hazardous), Agege’s air quality was below ideal for locals.
With 76.1 percent (extremely unhealthy), Surulere is next, followed by Mushin (47.3 percent) (unhealthy) and LAMATA Kosefe (46%).
LASEPA got 7.6 percent (good air quality), whereas Lekki topped the list of cities with good air quality with 10.1%.
