The Lagos State Government has ordered the indefinite closure of the Oko Oba Abattoir in Agege over what it described as unhygienic practices and flagrant violations of environmental regulations.
The decision was announced by the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, during an inspection tour of the facility on Wednesday. Wahab noted that the government could no longer tolerate the state of filth and disregard for public health rules observed at the abattoir.
