Crackdown In Ogun! Six Factories Sealed Over Shocking Environmental Breaches

The Ogun State Government has shut down six industries across the state for breaching environmental regulations.

The affected establishments include Winwin Electrical Limited, Isichei Farms Limited, Chafengei Nigeria Limited, Fortune Height Farms Limited, Loly B and DA Ventures Limited, and Adventus Nigeria Limited.

This was revealed in a statement posted on Saturday by the Ogun State Environmental Protection Agency (OGEPA) via X (formerly Twitter), reaffirming the government’s dedication to maintaining environmental integrity and safeguarding public health.

According to Farouk Tunde, Special Adviser to the Governor on OGEPA and Chairman of the Ogun State Task Force on Environmental Compliance and Enforcement, the industries were found guilty of violating various environmental standards.

Some of the companies, he noted, had previously been sealed but defied official orders and resumed operations illegally.

“Winwin Electrical Limited, Isichei Farms Limited, and Chafengei Nigeria Limited, all situated along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, were shut down for emitting air pollutants,” the statement read.

Fortune Height Farms Limited, located in Odogbolu Local Government Area, had been earlier sealed for releasing untreated wastewater into the environment. It was shut again for breaking the government seal and resuming operations without clearance.

Additionally, Loly B and DA Ventures Limited in Ijebu-Ode, a grain-cleaning business, was closed for ignoring a stop-work order issued by the agency.

Adventus Nigeria Limited, which operates a tube-processing facility along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, was sealed for endangering its workers by failing to provide personal protective equipment (PPE).

Isichei Farms Limited, which produces poultry feed, was also cited for violating an earlier stop-work directive.

OGEPA reiterated its unwavering commitment to ensuring all industries across Ogun State strictly adhere to environmental laws and standards.
