The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday sealed off some lounges, hotels, churches, fast food centres, and others over noise pollution.
This is contained in a statement by LASEPA’s General Manager, Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, made available to the News Agency of Nigeria.
Ajayi said the establishments were sealed due to persistent noise pollution and other environmental infractions.
He said: “The agency’s enforcement team carried out operations in various locations, including Ogudu Ojota, Apapa, and Alapere, targeting businesses and institutions that failed to comply with the state’s environmental regulations.
“As a result, several establishments including lounges, bar, hotels, religious centres, retail outlets, fast-food centers, motor servicing centers, and logistics companies were shut down for violating environmental laws.
