He emphasized the need for hospitality venue owners and operators to comply with the established safety measures and occupancy limits to ensure the well-being of everyone involved.

In light of these concerns, the Lagos State Safety Commission has started inspections to enforce compliance with safety regulations.

The government is taking these measures seriously, as non-compliance may result in the closure of offending establishments.

He disclosed further that the Commission has commenced rigorous inspections to ensure compliance, adding that any establishment found to violate these safety regulations will face immediate closure and further legal actions as deemed necessary.

He declared that the Commission appreciates the cooperation of all stakeholders in maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all, saying, “Let us work together to keep Lagos safe and thriving”.
