The National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency, NESREA has sealed buildings comprising a hotel, shopping malls, and another over noncompliance with environmental requirements.
The four buildings are in the Jos North and Jos South local government areas of Plateau State and are still undergoing construction. NESREA noted that despite the various letters sent for the right things to be done, the owners of the properties ignored the Agency and continued with the construction.
Assistant Chief Engineer, Abubakar Jibrin from the NESREA headquarters in Abuja who led the team on the enforcement exercise stated, “I am in Jos for the enforcement action that we have just done on a few facilities. They fell short of the requirements in the environmental documents that they were supposed to submit to our Agency.
“They have to do the audit and submit the documents to our office, having gotten to this level, they will be sanctioned. They will pay fines. It is easier to obey the law, those that have been sealed, will pay fines and still do the audit, and the sealing will disrupt their work.
