The Lagos State Government has shut down Dowen College in Lekki Phase 1 after waste materials allegedly linked to the institution were found to have been disposed of improperly.
Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, described the act as a serious breach of the state’s environmental laws, warning that such violations would not be tolerated.
He revealed that the Corps Marshall of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps had been instructed to enforce the closure of the Dowen College premises.
“We will not hesitate to take decisive action against any institution or organisation that flouts our waste management regulations,” Wahab said. “Lagos must remain clean, safe, and healthy for all residents, and we will ensure enforcement without compromise.”
