The Lagos State Government has reopened Donald’s Fast Food, a restaurant owned by popular social media figure Pascal Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest.
Recall that the establishment, located on Adebayo Doherty Street in Lekki Phase 1, was initially sealed off by the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency for violating noise pollution regulations.
LASEPA had shut down the restaurant after issuing multiple warnings and abatement notices regarding excessive noise levels from the establishment.
In a widely shared video on social media, government officials were seen unlocking the gates of the restaurant and removing sealed-off posters that had previously been placed on the premises.
The State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, also confirmed the opening via his X (formerly Twitter) account, saying, “Following the seal-up of Donald’s Fast Food (De-Angels Night Club) in accordance with the Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection Law 2017, Part VI Section 177 by the Lagos State government, the business proprietor has signed an undertaking to stick to the environmental laws of the State, promising to maintain the approved fast food business enterprise as against using the facility for any form of clubbing or partying as it is a residential area and state laws forbid it.
“Consequently, the Fast Food facility has been ordered unsealed.
“The Lagos State government continues to show commitment to ensuring safe environment for all Lagosians.”
The reopening follows compliance with state regulations, allowing the business to resume operations.
