Lagos Suspends Operations Of RCCG Church, Hotels, And Commercial Ventures Over Noise ConcernsThe Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has shut down several businesses for breaching the state’s noise pollution regulations. The agency made the announcement on Thursday via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle.

LASEPA explained that the affected businesses had repeatedly failed to meet environmental standards despite prior warnings. The enforcement operation, carried out in various locations including Mushin, Amuwo Odofin, and Okota-Isolo, is part of the agency’s ongoing efforts to address noise pollution and other environmental violations across Lagos.

In a statement, LASEPA emphasized that this move reflects its commitment to fostering a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environment for Lagos residents. The agency’s General Manager, Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, reiterated the importance of enforcing environmental standards to safeguard public health and promote community well-being.

“Environmental protection is a collective responsibility,” said Dr. Ajayi. “As an agency, we are resolute in our efforts to enforce compliance with environmental laws. Violations such as noise pollution and improper placement of hazardous facilities present serious risks to public health and the overall quality of life in Lagos. It is crucial that businesses and individuals prioritize compliance with these regulations and adopt sustainable practices.”

Dr. Ajayi also encouraged Lagos residents to report environmental infractions through LASEPA’s official channels, stressing the need for community involvement in safeguarding the environment.
