The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has sealed 11 establishments in Agege and Mushin over repeated environmental violations.

The agency carried out the enforcement exercise on Tuesday. It followed several warnings and abatement notices issued to the affected establishments.

LASEPA said the facilities had enough time to correct the breaches. However, they failed to meet the agency’s requirements.

The enforcement supports the Lagos State Government’s efforts to protect public health. It also aims to promote cleaner and safer communities across the state.

LASEPA Targets Six Establishments in Mushin

LASEPA sealed six establishments in Mushin during the exercise. The agency cited noise pollution, air pollution and failure to follow earlier directives.

Akorohunfayo Central Mosque on Akorohunfayo Street, Fadeyi, Mushin, was sealed over noise pollution.

Holy Temple of Christ on Ayetoro Street, behind NIPCO Filling Station, Mushin, also faced closure over noise pollution.

LASEPA sealed Christ Covenant Gospel Church, Western District, along Ikorodu Road, Fadeyi, Mushin, for the same offence.

Christ Apostolic Church (Oye Iyanu), located at Mushin Road, Church Bus Stop, Itire, also violated noise control requirements.

The agency sealed Biolarique Bakery Academy on Mushin Road for failing to comply with its directives.

Tiles & Marbles on Silver Street, Olorunsogo, Mushin, was also shut over air pollution.

Five Scrap Yards Sealed

LASEPA also sealed five scrap yards in Agege and Mushin.

The agency cited several environmental breaches. These included environmental pollution, failure to follow its directives and lack of evidence of an E-Waste Permit.

The affected businesses include Abubakar Scrap at Pipeline, Ifako-Ijaiye, Agege.

Others are Benjamin Scrap Yard on Ladoje Street, Oko Oba, Agege, and Starlas and Sons Scrap Yard at the same location.

Jamin Scrap Yard at Jungle Bus Stop, Iju Road, Agege, also faced enforcement.

The fifth facility, identified as Scrap Yard, operates on Olu Aina Street, Daleko, Mushin.

LASEPA Warns Businesses and Residents

LASEPA General Manager, Dr Babatunde Ajayi, reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to environmental protection.

Ajayi said LASEPA would continue to monitor activities across Lagos. He added that the agency would enforce environmental rules where businesses or other activities threaten public health.

He urged business owners, religious organisations, facility operators and scrap dealers to follow environmental rules.

He also asked operators to obtain the required permits and approvals before carrying out regulated activities.

Ajayi stressed that environmental compliance requires cooperation from residents and businesses.

Impact on Lagos’ Built Environment

The enforcement also has implications for Lagos’ housing and real estate sectors.

Noise and air pollution can affect the quality of life in residential communities. Poor environmental practices can also create problems for people living close to commercial and industrial activities.

Lagos continues to experience rapid urban growth. As more homes, businesses and other facilities develop across the state, environmental controls remain important to urban planning.

Property owners and developers also need to consider environmental requirements when using land. Compliance can help reduce conflicts between residential areas, businesses and other land uses.

The latest LASEPA action shows the importance of environmental regulation in Lagos’ growing urban areas. Continued compliance will remain necessary as the state works to create healthier and more sustainable communities.

On Monday, enforcement officials from the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) and the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) sealed off Light House Club, located along Admiralty Way in Lekki, over repeated breaches of noise pollution regulations.

The development was confirmed by the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, via his official social media handle, where he cited the club’s continued disregard for environmental standards despite multiple warnings.

“The club has been shut down for persistent noise pollution. The management ignored repeated directives to comply with sound level regulations,” Wahab stated.

“The closure will remain until they implement soundproofing measures and demonstrate full compliance with LASEPA’s noise control guidelines.”

The commissioner emphasized that protecting the rights of Lagos residents to a peaceful environment would always take precedence over commercial interests.

“Entertainment businesses must understand that our environmental laws are not negotiable. The comfort and wellbeing of the public come first,” he said.

In a separate enforcement effort, Wahab also disclosed the arrest of five individuals in Ikorodu for engaging in open urination, an offence under the state’s sanitation regulations.

The arrests underscore the state government’s broader push to uphold cleanliness and environmental discipline in public spaces. Officials have warned that ongoing surveillance and joint enforcement efforts will continue across the state, targeting individuals and businesses that flout environmental laws.

The state has reiterated its commitment to ensuring a cleaner, healthier, and more livable Lagos through firm regulatory action and inter-agency collaboration.
