“This enforcement drive, focusing on areas like Ogudu, Gbagada, Iyana Ejigbo, Isolo, Ajao Estate, Oshodi, Ilasamaja, and Okota, is part of LASEPA’s continuous efforts to uphold environmental standards and safeguard public health.

The statement added that the establishments were found guilty of breaching environmental regulations despite multiple warnings from LASEPA.

The statement urged all businesses to recognise the environmental obligations and work alongside the state government to foster a cleaner, more sustainable Lagos
