Lagos govt shuts five hotels over environmental violations
The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has sealed five hospitality establishments in the Ikorodu area for repeatedly violating environmental regulations.
The agency announced the enforcement action in a statement shared on its official X account on Tuesday.
According to LASEPA, the affected businesses had previously received several warnings, abatement notices, and ample time to correct the identified environmental breaches.
However, their failure to comply with the agency’s directives prompted the closure.
LASEPA reiterated its commitment to enforcing environmental laws across Lagos State, stressing that businesses must adhere to regulations designed to protect public health and maintain a clean and safe environment.
It said the exercise was in line with the Lagos State Government’s directive to enforce environmental laws and safeguard public health.
According to the agency, the establishments failed to comply with enforcement directives in spite of repeated engagements.
The affected facilities are Docklands Hotels, Royal Tree Hotel and Suite, Rivera Hotel, Medallion Hotel and Daval Spring Hotel.
LASEPA said the facilities are located in different parts of Ikorodu, including Ijede Road, Gberigbe Road, Aga and Owode-Ibeshe.
The agency’s General Manager, Dr Babatunde Ajayi, reaffirmed its commitment to protecting public health through strict enforcement of environmental regulations.
Ajayi said compliance with environmental laws remained a collective responsibility of businesses, residents and other stakeholders.
He warned that the agency would intensify monitoring and enforcement against individuals and organisations whose activities threaten environmental sustainability.
Ajayi urged facility operators and residents to adopt responsible environmental practices and comply with all regulatory requirements.
He reiterated that LASEPA would continue enforcement against facilities that disregard Lagos State environmental laws.
