Due to environmental contamination, the Lagos State Government on Thursday closed one of the Ikorodu-based steel firms.

The action was carried out by Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, General Manager (GM) of the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA), and his enforcement team.

According to LASEPA, "the company has repeatedly broken environmental laws, emitting hazardous substances that pose significant health and environmental risks to the residents of Ikorodu and its surroundings."

In the interim, the organization has requested Lagos State people to kindly complete the complaint form on the organization's website for more information regarding their concern.
