The establishments sealed included Thrillz Lounge on Odusanmi Street, Feixiang Plastic near LASU-Ojo Road, Marvel Hotel & Suites at Chrisbee Crescent, Keviz Hotel & Suites on Councilor Ajayi Street, DSN Hotel & Suites on Benson Onyeacholen Street, Rudaj Vegetable Oil on Tanimowo Street, Celestial Church of Christ in Adetola Buhari Street, Limas on Aro-Oloye Street, Nico Hotel & Suites at Ayawo Close, Master Furniture on Coleman Street, and Nikky’s Executive Bar & Lounge on Governor’s Road.
Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, the General Manager of LASEPA, emphasized the agency's dedication to public health and environmental preservation through persistent oversight, regulatory compliance, and firm enforcement of environmental standards throughout Lagos State.
