Lagos State authorities have sealed three major companies, including Coca-Cola, FrieslandCampina, and Guinness, for violating groundwater extraction regulations without proper authorization. The companies will face penalties for their non-compliance with state water regulations.

Lagos State authorities have taken enforcement action against three prominent companies, sealing Coca-Cola, FrieslandCampina, and Guinness for extracting large quantities of groundwater without proper authorisation and compliance with regulations. The Lagos State Water Regulatory Commission took the step to enforce environmental protection laws after the companies were found to be in breach of their permits. This move aims to safeguard the state's water resources and prevent further exploitation by unlicensed extractors. The sealed companies will now face penalties for their non-compliance, highlighting the commission's commitment to protecting Lagos' water assets.
