The Lagos State Government has closed Dowen College in Lekki Phase 1 for allegedly violating waste management laws.
The action was carried out by the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps in collaboration with the Lagos State Waste Management Authority. Officials traced improperly disposed waste to the school after apprehending a man suspected of breaking disposal rules.
According to the state, the man admitted to working with Dowen College, prompting an investigation that linked the offence to the institution. Authorities said the school’s actions showed disregard for environmental regulations.
The Environment and Water Resources Commissioner, Tokunbo Wahab, said the premises were sealed to enforce compliance. He stressed that the government would continue to act against any organisation or institution that flouts waste management laws.
Wahab added that Lagos must remain clean, safe, and healthy for residents, and warned that enforcement would be applied without compromise.
