The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has sealed several establishments, including a church, hotels, lounges, and fast-food centers, over persistent noise pollution and environmental violations.
LASEPA’s General Manager, Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, emphasizing the agency’s commitment to enforcing environmental regulations.
The enforcement operation targeted businesses and institutions in Ogudu Ojota, Apapa, and Alapere that failed to comply with noise control laws. The affected establishments include Flame Gospel Ministry International, Degra Eng/Electronics, B B Arena Hotel, Becfom Hotel, LA Megga Foods, and 3C Hub. Others are Kamara’s Lounge, 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 reaffirmed LASEPA’s zero-tolerance stance on noise pollution, stressing the need for businesses to comply with environmental laws to ensure a cleaner, healthier Lagos. He urged establishments to adhere to regulations to avoid sanctions, warning that defaulters would continue to face strict enforcement actions.
