The Ogun State Government has sealed six industries operating within the state for various environmental violations.
The affected companies include Winwin Electrical Limited, Isichei Farms Limited, Chafengei Nigeria Limited, Fortune Height Farms Limited, Loly B and DA Ventures Limited, and Adventus Nigeria Limited.
This was disclosed in a statement released on Saturday by the Ogun Environmental Protection Agency via X (formerly Twitter), reaffirming the agency’s commitment to upholding environmental standards and protecting the state’s ecosystem.
In the statement, Farouk Tunde, Special Adviser to the Governor on OGEPA and Chairman of the Ogun State Task Force on Environmental Compliance and Enforcement said the companies were found to be in breach of environmental regulations.
He noted that while some of the companies had previously been sealed, they defied government orders and resumed operations unlawfully.
“Winwin Electrical Limited, Isichei Farms Limited, and Chafengei Nigeria Limited, located along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, were sealed for air pollution.
“Fortune Height Farms Limited, situated in Odogbolu Local Government Area, which had earlier been sealed for discharging untreated effluent into the environment, was resealed for breaking the government seal to resume operations,” the statement partly read.
Tunde further explained that Loly B and DA Ventures Limited in Ijebu-Ode, a company involved in grain cleaning, was also sealed for violating a stop-work order previously issued by the agency.
“Adventus Nigeria Limited, whose tube processing factory is located along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, was sealed for exposing workers to environmental hazards and operating without Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
“Isichei Farms Limited, which produces poultry feed and is located along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, was also sealed for violating a stop-work order,” the statement added.
The OGEPA official reiterated the agency’s determination to ensure that all industries in the state comply with environmental laws.
