The Lagos State Government has stepped up enforcement against enterprises that violate the State Environmental Laws of 2017.
On Tuesday, this crackdown led to the closure of several businesses and religious institutions.
Following the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency’s operation in the Ojo Local Government Area, the state government sealed the impacted institutions, which included churches, hotels, clubs, an event centre, and a recycling company.

According to the agency, the facilities have all been deemed to allegedly contravene the state’s rigorous environmental requirements.
Babatunde Ajayi, the General Manager of LASEPA, underlined the agency’s commitment to maintaining environmental standards throughout the state.
“We will not hesitate to take necessary actions against any establishment that fails to comply with the state’s environmental regulations, and we urge all businesses to take responsibility for their environmental impact and work with the state government to create a better future for Lagos,” Ajayi stated.
