LAGOS GOVT SHUTS DOWN HOTELS, POULTRY OVER NOISE POLLUTION
In an effort to address issues with noise pollution, air pollution, and other environmental violations in the state, the Lagos State Government has closed a number of businesses in the Ikorodu neighborhood.
The action was taken in response to a recent comprehensive enforcement operation that was carried out in important locations of the state, such as Agric, Ibeshe, and Ikorodu, according to a statement released by the Environment and Water Resources Minister, Tokunbo Wahab, on X.com on Friday.
He went on to say that in spite of earlier alerts, a number of businesses—including hotels, bars, gas stations, poultry farms, and lounges—kept disobeying the rules set down by the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency.
“As a result, these establishments have been temporarily shut down to ensure compliance with environmental regulations,” he wrote, listing the affected outfits as Victory Hotel, Wendy Bar, Moore Gas Plant, Provider Farm and Poultry, Cloud 24, Little Palace Hotel, City Groove Lounge and Bar, Destiny Castle, and B.S. Gold Warehouse.
He wrote, “LASEPA emphasized the importance of businesses complying with environmental standards, reiterating its commitment to fostering a sustainable and harmonious environment for Lagos residents.
“With repeated warnings issued to businesses across the state, LASEPA remains resolute in its commitment to rigorously enforcing the State environmental laws, ensuring compliance and achieving a clean and sustainable environment befitting Lagos State’s status as the nation’s Center of Excellence.”
