Lagos warns against illegal borehole drilling

The Lagos State Government has warned operators in the borehole drilling industry against working without requisite permits from the government.

The Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Water Regulatory Commission, Mrs Funke Adepoju, said erring practitioners would henceforth be sanctioned.

The warning, she said, came after an enforcement by the agency in the Ikoyi area of the state, where boreholes were drilled in a block of 36-flats without licence and permits. Adepoju said the enforcement was part of measures to prevent unregulated drilling of boreholes in the state.
