The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency has shut down seven business centers for noise pollution.
This was disclosed on Thursday through LASEPA’s official X account, @LasepaOfficial.
The affected establishments include Red Pepper Bites Limited, Lacibo Restaurant & Lounge, Lakeem Suites, Krusty Butter Bakery & Pastries, Addie, Christian Ministry, and Don Nelson Resort & Suites. These businesses were located in the Surulere and Orile Iganmu areas of Lagos State.
LASEPA stated that several warnings and notices had been sent to these establishments to avoid closure, but they did not comply.
The agency’s post read, “Today, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency conducted a comprehensive enforcement operation aimed at curbing noise pollution and other environmental violations in the Surulere and Orile lganmu areas of Lagos State. Despite repeated warnings and abatement notices issued in the past, numerous establishments persisted in contravening LASEPA’s directives. Consequently, these non-compliant establishments have been temporarily shut down to ensure strict compliance with environmental regulations.”
The General Manager of LASEPA, Dr. Dolapo Fasawe, emphasized the importance of businesses and religious centers following environmental standards.
He said, “We are committed to fostering a harmonious and sustainable environment for the residents of Lagos. We will continue to enforce environmental laws rigorously to ensure compliance and address environmental violations across Lagos State.”
