The Lagos State Government has unsealed Donald’s, a restaurant in the Lekki area owned by popular socialite and Instagram celebrity, Pascal Okechukwu, better known as Cubana Chief Priest.
Commissioner of the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this on his X account on Tuesday.
According to him, the order to unseal the restaurant was given after the owner signed an undertaking, stating that the facility will only be used as a restaurant and not for clubbing or partying.
Wahab said, “Following the seal-up of Donald’s Fast Food (De-Angels Night Club) in accordance with the Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection Law 2017, Part VI Section 177 by the Lagos State government, the business proprietor has signed an undertaking to stick to the environmental laws of the State, promising to maintain the approved fast food business enterprise as against using the facility for any form of clubbing or partying as it is a residential area and state laws forbid it.
“Consequently, the Fast Food facility has been ordered unsealed.”
“The Lagos State government continues to show commitment to ensuring safe environment for all Lagosians,” the commissioner added.
On Sunday, the state government announced the sealing of the restaurant, saying the action was taken after several warnings were given about noise pollution and other environmental infractions.
Wahab said the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) had issued several warnings to the eatery but it failed to adhere to them.
“After several warnings and abatement notices, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency #LasepaOfficial sealed Donald’s Fast Food on Adebayo Doherty Street, Lekki 1 over noise pollution and other environmental infractions,” he posted.
