The Lagos State Wastewater Management Office on Monday, following a public complaint, sealed off a fast food outlet, Cravings & More, located along Egbeda-Idimu Road, for illegally discharging fats and oil from their kitchen into the public drainage system.
The state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, revealed in a statement that the eatery’s improper waste disposal had caused blockages in the drainage system and led to the emission of foul odour.
“The unwholesome sanitation practices of the restaurant have led to the clogging of the drainage system, causing a massive proliferation of maggots and houseflies, as well as the emission of foul odour, which has resulted in discomfort and health hazards for the entire community.
“The Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources remains committed to ensuring that sanitation and hygiene standards are not compromised in the state,” Wahab stated on X.com.
On Sunday, the government also confirmed the sealing of Donald’s Fast Food on Adebayo Doherty Street, Lekki, due to noise pollution and other environmental infractions.
Wahab explained that the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency took the action after several warnings and abatement notices were issued to the eatery.
