Lagos Manufacturers Demand Reopening of Sealed Factories Over Alleged Waiver Non-Payment

Lagos state authorities have sealed several factories, prompting a manufacturer to demand their reopening. The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria is calling on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to address the issue.

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has been urged by the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria to reopen factories sealed by the Lagos State Water Regulatory Commission due to alleged non-payment of water bills. The manufacturer association has expressed concerns over the economic impact of the closures, which they say could lead to job losses and disruption in supply chains. The Lagos State Water Regulatory Commission had previously sealed several factories for failing to pay their water bills, leading to a significant backlog in water supplies.
