State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, shared the updates on X.com on Friday.

Among the sealed locations were a public toilet under the bridge at Leventis Bus Stop, Apongbon, and Ebute-Ero Market Block N. The public toilet was penalized for discharging untreated sewage into the lagoon and constructing an unauthorized facility, while the market was found guilty of channeling sewage into public drains and building a septic tank on a pedestrian walkway.

Wahab stressed that Lagos State remains committed to zero tolerance for environmental pollution and degradation, urging citizens to adopt proper hygiene practices for a cleaner and safer environment.
