The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has sealed Flourish Hotel, located at New Ipaja Scheme II, Ipaja Housing Estate, Lagos, over repeated noise pollution and other environmental breaches.
The agency disclosed the development on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, highlighting it as part of its intensified enforcement campaign against environmental offenders across the state.
According to LASEPA, the enforcement followed repeated violations of Lagos State environmental regulations by the hotel.
“The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency today sealed off Flourish Hotel located at New Ipaja Scheme II, Ipaja Housing Estate, AIT opposite Obasanjo Bridge Roundabout, Lagos, over persistent noise pollution and other environmental violations,” the agency stated.
