LASEPA REOPENS CLUB QUILOX
The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, LASEPA, has reopened Club Quilox after securing the management’s commitment to comply with the State’s Environmental Laws, Regulations, Guidelines and Standards.
The Club was reopened after its management undertook to carry out activities without obstructing the flow of traffic on Ozumba Mbadiwe and other adjoining streets, just as it committed to ensuring that sound emanating from its facility does not exceed the recommended limits set by the State.
After a meeting with the management of the Club, the General Manager of LASEPA, Dr. Dolapo Fasawe, disclosed that “We are reopening the club for operation as it has fulfilled our conditions and complied with the extant law guiding its operations. The club was sanctioned and fined for environmental nuisance and we ensured total compliance before reopening,” she said.
Speaking further, the General Manager maintained that the closure would serve as a warning to other entertainment and event centres to ensure their operations are within the ambits of the law.
Fasawe advised entertainment and event centres to work with relevant government agencies to put effective traffic management systems in place when hosting events.
She emphasised that the government would not allow any business concern constitute a nuisance to other members of the public by ensuring strict compliance with the State’s environmental laws and regulations.
