 LAGOS STATE SAFETY COMMISSION WARNS NIGHTCLUBS AGAINST OVERCROWDING 


The Lagos State Safety Commission has observed a concerning trend of overcrowding in several clubs and lounges across the city in recent days. 


This was recently disclosed by the Director-General/CEO, Lagos Safety Commission, Mr. Lanre Mojola, who stated that despite the Government's support of the vibrant nightlife and the economic benefits it brings, it must be emphasised that there is a paramount need for nightclub owners/operators to strictly adhere to the authorized occupancy limits as approved by the Commission.


According to him, on no account should any nightclub allow overcrowding, which poses significant safety risks, including the potential for fire hazards, smoking in public spaces, compromised emergency exits, and increased likelihood of accidents. These risks, he said, endanger not only the lives of patrons but also the staff and the general public.


Mojola noted that the State Government strongly urge all owners and operators of hospitality venues to strictly comply with the safety measures and occupancy limits set forth by the Lagos State Safety Commission. These regulations are in place to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone.


He disclosed further that the Commission has commenced rigorous inspections to ensure compliance, adding that any establishment found to violate these safety regulations will face immediate closure and further legal actions as deemed necessary.


He declared that the Commission appreciates the cooperation of all stakeholders in maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all, saying, "Let us work together to keep Lagos safe and thriving".


The Government, therefore, enjoined stakeholders to contact the  Commission on 07000SAFETY for further guidance on compliance.
