The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA), visited Iwaya fish smoking community in the Bariga area of Lagos State to inspect the ongoing modern fish smoking kilns installation project in the area.

The initiative, a collaboration between the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA)and RDD Associates Ltd., is designed to improve environmental conditions, promote public health, and enhance the livelihoods of local fish processors.

The Iwaya community has traditionally relied on conventional fish smoking methods which contribute to air pollution and posed serious health risks due to harmful emissions. In recognition these challenges, the Lagos State Government, through LASEPA introduced cleaner and more sustainable fish smoking technologies to mitigate environmental impact and improve overall well-being.

During the visit, LASEPA General Manager Dr Tunde Ajayi ,represented by the Director Head of Air Quality and Emissions Unit, Mrs Ayodele Oso, evaluated the air quality levels of the area and engaged community members on the benefits of the new smoking kilns project embarked upon by the State government. Dr Ajayi explained that the two newly installed kilns , when completed, would utilize cleaner energy sources, reduce harmful smoke emissions, while maintaining the quality of smoked fish.

He added that the waste generated from the smoking process can be converted into chicken feed, thus, promoting a circular economy and turning waste into wealth.

Ajayi reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to improving air quality and supporting eco-friendly initiatives.
