The Lagos government says it will close down bars, churches, clubs, mosques and companies, causing environmental nuisance.
The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this on Tuesday in Lagos.
Mr Wahab spoke at a management meeting with Babatunde Ajayi, the newly appointed Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) general manager and directors.
He urged the management team of LASEPA to review its operations strategies in line with international best practices.
“I charged them to review their operations strategies following accepted international best practices. I have also directed the zonal directors, monitoring and enforcement units to begin advocacy and strict enforcement by closing any public place (bars, churches, clubs, mosques, companies, among others) causing environmental nuisance across the state.
“This is in compliance with the Lagos State Environmental Management Protection Law,” Mr Wahab said.
