The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) was established on the 1st of November, 1996 by virtue of the LASEPA Edict No. 9 of 1996 (now Environment Management Protection Law 2017 Part VI)). The main thrust of the Agency is to protect and improve the environment, assist public and private organizations, industries, businesses and non-governmental organizations to achieve compliance b

y providing environment-friendly solutions to varied environmental challenges. The Agency is a parastatal of the State Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and carries out its statutory functions through nine (9) Departments (7 MOE Departments with 2 non MOE departments)) with the assistance of ten (10) Units and seventeen (17) Zonal Offices. The technical Departments are involved in laboratory services, monitoring and enforcement, research and data, and regulations, among others. The functions of LASEPA impact on the activities of industries, commercial services, public and private sectors, communities and the environment at large. As an implementing organ of the State’s policies on the environment, the Agency gives preference to and works hand-in-hand with other relevant stakeholders, as well as national and international Agencies on the environment. Consequently, LASEPA works under the ambit of national, state and local government laws (on the environment), multilateral treaties, agreements, conventions and protocols entered into by the national government with respect to the environment.

LASEPA, CPAN Explore Strategic Partnership to Strengthen Environmental Standards in Lagos

The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) today received the Board of Trustees of the Cleaning Practitioners Association of Nigeria (CPAN) on a courtesy visit,which focused on strengthening existing collaboration between the two bodies towards a cleaner, healthier, and more environmentally responsible Lagos.

The engagement, which brought together the LASEPA General Manager, Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, top management of the Agency, and members of the CPAN Board of Trustees led by their president Dr Tunde Ayeye provided an opportunity to explore areas of partnership that will promote professionalism, environmental responsibility, and improved standard practices within the cleaning sector.

Speaking during the engagement, the General Manager of LASEPA, Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, emphasised the importance of establishing the appropriate framework to support the initiative, particularly as it relates to regulation and enforcement.

He noted that while innovation and professional development are esential, any enforcement must be supported by a clear legal foundation.

Dr. Ajayi also stressed the need for adequate advocacy and public sensitization before enforcement, noting that sustainable compliance is achieved when people are properly informed, trained, and given sufficient opportunity to understand and adopt the required standards.

He further encouraged the Agency and its partners to lead by example, noting that government personnel involved in cleaning and environmental services should also be encouraged to undergo relevant training and certification.

This, he noted, would demonstrate government’s commitment to the same standards it expects from other stakeholders.

The General Manager highlighted the value of professional training and certification in improving the quality of environmental services, strengthening accountability, and creating better economic opportunities for practitioners.

The proposed collaboration therefore aligns with LASEPA’s commitment to environmental protection, public health, stakeholder engagement, advocacy, and the promotion of susta

The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) today organised a stakeholder engagement for Heads of Departments, Heads of Units and Zonal Heads on the implementation and operational framework of the Lagos Greenhouse Gas Registry (LGHGR).

The engagement, held at the Agency’s Conference Room, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos, was aimed at strengthening internal understanding of the Registry and equipping relevant officers with the knowledge required to support its effective implementation, onboarding and compliance processes.

Speaking at the engagement, the Chief Executive Officer of TPHG Technologies, Dr. Fagbeja, provided an overview of the technical framework, objectives and significance of the LGHGR, particularly its role in improving emissions data, strengthening air quality assessment and supporting evidence-based environmental and public health interventions across Lagos State.

Dr. Fagbeja explained that the development of the Registry builds on a comprehensive greenhouse gas inventory project undertaken by TPHG Technologies in collaboration with LASEPA in 2022, with 2019 established as the baseline year for assessing greenhouse gas emissions in the State.

He identified the lack of comprehensive data from the industrial sector as one of the major limitations of the earlier assessment, noting that the LGHGR was therefore designed to bring industries into a structured emissions reporting framework.

According to him, this approach will enable Lagos State to obtain more detailed and reliable information on industrial emissions, thereby improving the accuracy of its overall greenhouse gas inventory and supporting the development of appropriate mitigation strategies.

Also speaking, Rita Ariyo of TPHG Technologies provided detailed information on the LGHGR onboarding and compliance process.
