The Lagos State Government has sealed the popular Nordic Hotel located in Victoria Island over serious environmental violations, citing threats to public health and safety.
According to reports from the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO), the closure was prompted by the hotel’s illegal discharge of untreated wastewater into public drains — a clear breach of environmental safety regulations.
Officials explained that the action is part of an ongoing statewide crackdown on environmental offenders, aimed at promoting a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable Lagos.
Authorities emphasized that no individual or business is exempt from environmental compliance, noting that such practices endanger both residents and the ecosystem.
The LSWMO also stated that the facility will remain sealed until proper corrective measures are implemented and verified by the agency.
This development underscores the Lagos government’s renewed focus on environmental accountability and public health protection, particularly in high-traffic hospitality zones like Victoria Island.
As the situation unfolds, residents and environmental groups have applauded the move as a step in the right direction toward enforcing long-overdue sanitation laws in the state.
