The Director General, Lagos Safety Commission, Lanre Mojola
disclosed this, during an on-the-spot assessment of event centres in the State
on Thursday.
According to him, the safety assessment exercise is an
ongoing effort to promote the Commission’s mandate to ensure zero accidents,
particularly during this yuletide season.
Mojola declared that before this exercise, the Commission
had earlier informed all event owners through their various associations of the
need to adopt safety best practices at all events and to duly register all
events with 250 guests and above through its registration portal
www.lasgsafetyreg.com to obtain an Event Safety Permit.
He said the Commission has taken decisive action to enforce
compliance with basic safety standards and guarantee safer events by sealing
these event centres for non-conformity with already established safety
protocols.
Some of the event centres Include White Stone Event Centre,
Lekki Coliseum, Leisure Park, La Madison, Haddasah, The Summit, Villa Park, De
Dove, Majesty, The Podium, Celebrations Gardens, Tastee Event Centres, Majesty
Events Cent, among others.

Mojola stated that the Commission would continue to conduct
routine inspections to ensure that safety standards were upheld across the
events and hospitality sectors within the State.
He enjoined members of the public to escalate and report
safety infractions observed at events and public facilities to the Commission.
