According to a statement by NESREA's Assistant Director (Press) Amaka Ejiofor, the enforcement was carried out in Borno, Gombe, Ogun, Enugu, Edo, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Nasarawa, and Taraba States.
The facilities, including bakeries and water production plants, were shut down for failing to comply with National Environmental Regulations.
Violations included non-compliance with the Environmental Impact Assessment Act, lack of Environmental Audit Reports, and failure to implement an Environmental Management Plan.
Some were also penalized for not installing Effluent Treatment Plants, lacking necessary permits, and poor housekeeping.
NESREA’s Director General, Dr. Innocent Barikor, expressed concern over the non-compliance, stating that it posed a risk to public health and the environment.
He stated that the Agency would continue to enforce environmental regulations and impose penalties on violators, urging citizens to comply with the laws and report any environmental violations.
