The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has sealed five hotels in Ikorodu for persistent violations of environmental regulations, despite repeated warnings and enforcement notices.
The affected establishments—Docklands Hotels, Royal Tree Hotel and Suite, Rivera Hotel, Medallion Hotel, and Daval Spring Hotel—are located along Ijede Road, Gberigbe Road, Aga, and Owode-Ibeshe in Ikorodu.
According to LASEPA, the enforcement action followed several engagements, abatement notices, and opportunities given to the facilities to address the identified environmental infractions, but they failed to comply.
The agency said the exercise aligns with the Lagos State Government’s commitment to enforcing environmental laws and protecting public health.
LASEPA General Manager, Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, reiterated the agency’s resolve to ensure strict compliance with environmental regulations, warning that businesses and individuals whose activities threaten environmental sustainability would continue to face enforcement actions.
He urged facility operators and residents to adopt responsible environmental practices, stressing that compliance with environmental laws is a shared responsibility.
