The Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) on Monday, May 18, 2026, sealed off BON Hotel located on Sule Olusesi Street, Conservation Area, Lekki, Eti-Osa, Lagos, over the indiscriminate discharge of untreated wastewater into the environment and public drainage channels.

According to the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, the enforcement action followed the discovery that the hotel allegedly channelled untreated wastewater into public drains through the use of pumping machines, thereby causing environmental nuisance, offensive odour, and posing serious risks to public health and safety.

The Commissioner disclosed this development via his official social media handle, reiterating the commitment of the Lagos State Government to environmental sustainability and strict enforcement of sanitation regulations across the state.

He warned that individuals, organisations, and business premises engaging in acts capable of endangering the environment or public health would be sanctioned in line with existing environmental laws of Lagos State.

The Lagos State Wastewater Management Office also urged residents and corporate organisations to adopt proper wastewater disposal practices and cooperate with government agencies in maintaining a clean, safe, and healthy environment.

Na wetin dey make water for Lekki dirty be this o.

Good one from LSG.. environmental pollution should be a serious offense.

And tomorrow they will join others to claim Lagos is dirty

Is this related to Bon bread?

Wastewater Engineering is one area of engineering that Nigerians do not take serious

saddler:

You took the question from my mouth

Remain bon bread like this

Tokunbo wahab, this is the man that should be the next Lagos state Governor. He’s well connect to the people. He’s pure Pro-people..

But then, if Lagos say Hamzat is good, then no issues.. I don’t believe in hamzat but I’m wishing him all the best !

Very good. Hygiene is a very important part of human lives and existence. You can’t just play with people’s health and lives like that

indiscriminate discharge of untreated wastewater into the environment and public drainage channels??

Isn’t this what EVERY building in Lagos does? dump their untreated wastewater into the gutters (public drainage) in front of their houses/property?

Good one . Lagos is working

The government should take the lead by providing a central sewage system.

Who will seal Sanwo Olu's office for failure to provide pipe borne water supply after 27 years of forever increasing tax burden has yielded 100 times growth in budget and more in IGR growth

Why all the speech and warnings? Before these businesses are permitted to operate aren't they checked for compliance with waste water disposal? Then how about enforcement ? How often are businesses checked for enforcement? What are the consequences? Hotel closed ...is that all? ... isn't there a fine? ...a huge fine? If there is ..then the law should be updated to make the fine be a deterrent as in N5M for the first violation ...N10M for the second etc. The fines will help in the clean up.

The guy in the picture with the opened manhole cover should be well kitted. His legs are exposed with the mind of footwear that offers no structural or bio-hazardous protection.

This is not Bon Bread before some people start unnecessary dragging 😂
This ones are just very reckless and deserves that closure.

On issue of Bon bread, honestly, the level of ignorance around food preservation in this country is alarming.

How did “bread lasting longer” suddenly become proof that a product is unhealthy? Yet the same people comfortably eat biscuits, cakes, crackers, and other baked products that stay on shelves for months without questioning anything.

Food spoilage is not magic. It is mainly controlled by:
• Moisture content
• Microbial contamination
• Packaging quality
• Processing standards
• Preservatives and stabilizers

The moment you reduce moisture, improve hygiene, use proper packaging, and apply modern food technology correctly, shelf life naturally increases.

Many people are still mentally stuck in the old era where bread was mixed with bare hands, exposed to flies and dust, packaged poorly, and contaminated easily. Some local production environments even involved handlers moving from dirty surfaces or toilets straight to food processing without proper sanitary control. Of course such bread spoiled quickly.

Modern food science has evolved far beyond that.

Today, commercial bakeries use:
• Controlled formulations
• Hygienic automated systems
• Food-grade preservatives within approved limits
• Moisture control
• Sealed packaging technologies

All these are designed specifically to reduce spoilage and extend shelf life safely.

A product lasting longer does NOT automatically make it toxic or unhealthy. That conclusion is scientifically lazy.

If long shelf life alone means food is dangerous, then many packaged foods people consume daily should also be considered “bad.” But that’s not how food science works.

Instead of spreading fear and misinformation, people should learn the basics of food technology, microbiology, and preservation science before jumping to conclusions online.
Most of all these so-called online content creators are just attention seekers and will drag and post anything for likes.
The one dragging that Bread company, is she a food expert? What does she know about food science?

Bon Bread escape

Bon hotel enter

Did the so called online content creator mentioned any brand?

You are also part of Nigerians na. That means you don't take Wastewater Engineering serious. Abu I lie, Oga?

Seal it off

Later they will say Lagos is smelling

In some states, Instead of fixing this, the owner will contact the governor, Mr. Commissioner will receive a phone call and it will be unsealed and they continue.

The hotel should pay a heavy fine for contributing to environmental hazard, this is environmental terrorism

BON bread
BON hotel


What is happening to all these BON companies sef

Absolutely! It’s a fantastic observation. A clear sign of progress.

Mr food expert e pele o, e ku iro enu.

If everything you said here are quite sensible as it seems, Madam Bon bread wouldn't have gone all the way to intimidate the content creator with the police and court summons. She would rather enlighten the public about the new science of food preservation and how safe it is for public consumption.

Not everyone is a fool bro..... Did know that, Bon bread manufacturer later made another of their product claiming that it got spoilt after 4 days.... Please safe yourself the stress on Bon Bread.

For your mind now, a good bread should spoil after 3 days, but cakes and biscuits should last for 6 months. Clap for yourself

Most of them are dirty...they care less of their environment
