The Lagos State Government has sealed 12 establishments in Ogba, Idimu-Ikota, Ejigbo, LASU-Iba Road, Igando, and Agodo-Egbe areas of the state over persistent violations of environmental regulations.
The government said the establishments were sealed despite repeated warnings, abatement notices, and several opportunities granted to facilitate compliance with the directives issued by the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA).
LASEPA, in a statement issued on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, said the enforcement exercise was carried out on Tuesday in line with the directives of the Lagos State Government to ensure strict adherence to environmental laws, safeguard public health and promote a cleaner, healthier and safer environment for residents.
LASEPA noted that the affected establishments were found to have contravened various environmental regulations and failed to implement prescribed corrective measures or comply with directives issued by the agency.
Speaking on the enforcement operation, the General Manager of LASEPA, Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to protecting public health and preserving the environment through sustained monitoring, regulatory compliance and effective enforcement of environmental standards across Lagos State.

Ajayi stressed that environmental compliance is a collective responsibility, noting that LASEPA would continue to intensify enforcement actions against individuals, businesses, religious organisations, and corporate bodies whose activities pose risks to the environment, public health and the wellbeing of Lagos residents.
He urged business owners, facility operators, religious institutions, scrap dealers and residents across Lagos State to embrace environmentally responsible practices, obtain all necessary permits and approvals, comply fully with applicable environmental regulations, and cooperate with LASEPA in its efforts to build “a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable Lagos.”
