The Lagos State government has taken action against another restaurant for illegally discharging fats and oil from its kitchen into the public drainage system.
Tokunboh Wahab, the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, announced the closure on X. He noted that despite numerous warnings, the restaurant did not comply. Wahab stated:
“Today, Monday, September 16, 2024, following a public complaint, the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) @lswmomedia has sealed Cravings & More, a fast food restaurant located on Egbeda-Idimu Road. This action was taken due to the illegal discharge of kitchen fats and oils into the public drainage system.
The restaurant’s poor sanitation practices have led to blocked drains, resulting in an infestation of maggots and houseflies and the emission of foul odors, which pose significant health risks and discomfort to the local community.
The Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources remains dedicated to upholding sanitation and hygiene standards throughout the state.”
