The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has marked its 30th anniversary, reaffirming its dedication to environmental protection, pollution control, and sustainable management. Dr Omobolaji Tajudeen-Gaji, the Permanent Secretary, highlighted the agency's achievements in combating pollution and improving environmental standards.
Tajudeen-Gaji stressed the importance of environmental compliance through continuous awareness and engagement, rather than solely relying on enforcement actions. Dr Babatunde Ajayi, the General Manager, described the milestone as a significant moment to assess the agency's progress in enhancing environmental regulations and addressing emerging challenges.
LASEPA has focused on noise pollution control, air quality management, industrial pollution monitoring, and regulatory enforcement. The agency has also established an online reporting portal for residents to report environmental violations. Ajayi emphasized the agency's role in Nigeria's carbon market and climate action initiatives, recognizing LASEPA's scientific laboratory as a key asset for environmental monitoring and regulatory decisions.
The 30th anniversary celebration underscored the agency's commitment to strengthening environmental governance and promoting sustainable practices throughout Lagos State.
