Environmental safety: Two companies sealed off in Kwara
For failing to provide environmental safety documents, the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) seals off two companies in Kwara.
The two affected companies are Replastico Nigeria Ltd, Ilorin, and Mount Olive Quarry Site, in the Asa local government area of Kwara.
The State Coordinator of the Agency, Mrs. Zainab Aremu, said it was worrisome to note that despite repeated sensitisation programmes, some industries still refuse to comply with environmental regulations.
Aremu said that the agency is embarking on a nationwide environment exercise to bring an end to the gross negligence and non-adherence to set standards and regulations.
She added that the activities of those industries and facilities pose a threat to the environment.
