A building in Lagos state has been sealed due to its poor sewer tank state.
The Lagos state Wastewater management announced the closure of the building in a statement released from it’s office.
The agency revealed that a building in the Agege area of Lagos, containing 10 rooms exhibits a poor cleanliness and general hygiene routine.

“LSWMO in continued demonstration of its commitment to a sustainable environment, proper sanitation and public health safety in the state has sealed off a residential property on Adedosu Street, Otubu, Agege.
