Among the affected facilities was Westgate Arena Club, located at Apostolic Church Close, Olowora, which was shut down for persistent noise pollution and failure to comply with environmental directives issued by the agency.
LASEPA also sealed Dave Premium and Suites, situated on Alhaji Irorun Street, off Kazeem Street, Alapere, Ketu, over similar environmental violations linked to excessive noise pollution.
The agency said the action followed repeated environmental infractions and the refusal of both establishments to comply with abatement notices and other regulatory requirements aimed at protecting residents and the environment.
Speaking on the enforcement exercise, the General Manager of LASEPA, Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, reiterated the agency’s commitment to safeguarding public health by ensuring a cleaner, safer and more sustainable environment across Lagos State.
He stressed that compliance with environmental regulations is the responsibility of both individuals and corporate organisations.
“Environmental compliance is a collective responsibility. Individuals and corporate organisations must adhere strictly to environmental laws and regulations. LASEPA will continue to intensify enforcement actions against violators to curb environmental nuisances and protect residents from the harmful effects of pollution,” Ajayi said.
He urged residents, business owners and operators of hospitality and entertainment facilities to embrace environmentally responsible practices and cooperate with regulatory authorities to promote a healthier and more livable Lagos.
Ajayi added that the agency would continue to enforce environmental laws without compromise to ensure full compliance across the state.
