The Lagos State Government has sealed 11 facilities including Event Centres, Lounges and Night Clubs for violating COVID-19 directives.

This was made known by the Director-General of the Lagos State Safety Commission (LSC), Mr Lanre Mojola, on Sunday.

The LSC boss stated that though the sealed event centres originally informed the agency of their intention to organise parties and events, they failed to meet the expectations of the agency on complying with COVID-19 protocols.

Mojola added that the number of persons approved for the events centres was outnumbered with what the officials met on ground when they visited the places at the weekend.

The Director-General stressed that those facilities were sealed for non-compliance with COVID -19 Health Protection Regulations of the State and Federal Government.
