The Lagos State Government has sealed off a building in Lekki area over alleged deliberate discharge of wastewater into the environment, which constituted a public nuisance and endangered human life.
Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab disclosed this in an X post over the weekend.
Wahab said the enforcement action was carried out by the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) following a public complaint.
He said, “Following the public complaint by @Bond_not_james, we have acted decisively at TPDC Estate.
“The Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) has sealed-off No. 11, Major Bolaji Ariyo Street, Off Afoluke Avenue, Lekki, Eti-Osa, Lagos, for deliberate discharge of wastewater into the environment, thereby causing public nuisance, environmental pollution and endangering human life.”
The commissioner warned that improper disposal of waste posed serious environmental and public health risks, noting that the state government would not tolerate such violations.
“Our duty is to protect the environment and ensure that Lagos remains clean, safe, and livable for all,” he added.
