LASEPA disclosed this in a statement following an enforcement operation conducted on Monday, September 7, 2026, in line with the Lagos State Government’s directive to ensure compliance with environmental laws and protect public health.

According to the agency, the establishments were found to have violated various environmental regulations and failed to implement corrective measures or comply with directives previously issued by LASEPA.

Among the establishments sealed was Hollysee Hotel Suites on Adebowale Close, off Fatade Road, Baruwa-Ipaja, over noise pollution.

Speaking on the enforcement exercise, LASEPA General Manager, Dr Babatunde Ajayi, reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to protecting public health and preserving the environment through continuous monitoring, regulatory compliance and enforcement of environmental standards across Lagos.

Ajayi said the agency would continue to intensify enforcement against individuals, businesses, religious organisations and corporate bodies whose activities pose risks to the environment, public health and the wellbeing of Lagos residents.

He urged business owners, facility operators, religious organisations, scrap dealers and residents to adopt environmentally responsible practices, obtain necessary permits and approvals, and comply fully with environmental regulations.

LASEPA stressed that its enforcement activities were not intended to disrupt legitimate businesses but to ensure that establishments operate responsibly and comply with environmental laws and standards in the interest of residents.

The agency called on stakeholders to support efforts to build a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable Lagos.
