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.

Mojola, who was represented at the sealing of the property by Dr Wale Adeboje, the Events Safety Administrator of LSC, maintained that the enforcement exercise saw event centres, bars and lounge sealed between Saturday and Sunday.

He said, “the event centres, bars and lounges sealed between Saturday and Sunday include, UBC Club, VGC, Sapearz Lounge, Awolowo road, Ikoyi, Bravo event centre, Ogba, Ronite Event Centre, Iju Road, Agege.

“Other sealed centres are, All Season Event Centre, Ipaja, OlaideAdeoluwa Memorial Hall, Carabana Lounge/Bar Isolo, Ajao Estate.

“DNA Victoria Island, Twist Lounge Kofo Abayomi Victoria Island, Carlsbad Lounge Adeniyi Jones Ikeja and Darts Event Centre, Grammar School, Ifako Ijaiye, Lagos also contravened the COVID-19 protocols.

Mojola, however, urged event owners to register and obtain permit on www.lasgsafetyreg.com, adding that the event facilities visited applied for 50 guests inside and 150 guests outdoor.

He further enjoined Lagosians to protect themselves and others by observing laid down safety guidelines and regulations as stipulated by Lagos state and the Federal Government.
