LASEPA Seals Club, Hotel Over Noise Pollution in Lagos
The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency has sealed a nightclub and a hotel in separate enforcement operations over persistent noise pollution and repeated violations of environmental regulations.
The affected facilities, Westgate Arena Club in Olowora and Dave Premium and Suites in Alapere, Ketu, were shut down on Monday after allegedly failing to comply with environmental directives and abatement notices.
According to the agency, the enforcement exercise was carried out on the directive of the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, as part of the Lagos State Government’s efforts to enforce environmental laws and safeguard public health.
LASEPA said Westgate Arena Club, located on Apostolic Church Close, Olowora, was sealed over persistent noise pollution and non compliance with the agency’s directives. Dave Premium and Suites, located on Alhaji Irorun Street, off Kazeem Street, Alapere, Ketu, was also shut for similar environmental infractions.
The agency stated that the enforcement followed repeated environmental violations, particularly noise pollution, and the failure of the affected establishments to comply with regulatory requirements designed to protect residents and the environment.
The General Manager of LASEPA, Babatunde Ajayi, reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to promoting a cleaner, safer and more sustainable environment across Lagos State.
Ajayi urged residents, business owners and operators of hospitality and entertainment establishments to comply with environmental laws and adopt responsible practices, warning that the agency would continue to intensify enforcement against violators.
