Lagos State Government in the ongoing 2022 Zero Accident Campaign, ZAC, enforcement has shut additional night clubs and lounges .

Men of the Lagos Commission, LSC, during an operation in the Lekki and Ikeja area of the state, sealed entertainment centres.

The commission had last week shut down six nightclubs and lounges for not flouting against the approved standard set by the state government.

The commission also shut four more nightclubs and lounges at the weekend.

D’ Prime Lounge, Lekki; Bite Billionaire Lounge, Ikeja and House 26 Bar/Lounge, Ikeja and House 26. Ikeja, are among the affected facilities.

Lanre Majola ,Director-General of the commission, stated that owners of some of these establishments exhibited flagrant disregard to the state government’s regulations to register with the commission through its www.lasgsafetyreg.com portal, despite different attempts to ensure their compliance.

“Other infractions include the non-regularization of their safety documents such as obtaining the Safety Compliance Certificate as required by Law,” Mojola stated.

He listed lack of fire extinguishers, cleared marked exit routes with appropriate safety signages, food safety concerns, poor hygiene and housekeeping as other safety infractions identified by the commission.

Mojola stated that the enforcement exercises would consistently continue across the state until such facilities complied.

He therefore, encouraged owners and operators of such facilities to seek a safety-first policy as this preserved their businesses and enhanced the well-being of not only their staff but also visiting members of the public.
