– Hotels: 19 hotels, such as School2bar, Blue Seasons Hotel and Suites, Sulerious Lakeside Hotel, Monero Hotel and Suites, and Lekki Hotel and Suites. 

– Other Establishments: Bars, guest houses, fast food outlets, and a company, all of which persisted in violating LASEPA’s directives despite repeated warnings.

Reasons for Shutdown:

– Noise pollution

– Failure to comply with environmental regulations

– Persistence in violating LASEPA’s directives despite repeated warnings

What are the LASEPA’s Efforts:

– Comprehensive enforcement operation in strategic areas of Lagos State
