NESREA Seals Four Facilities in Nasarawa for Pollution

The National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) has sealed four facilities in Nasarawa State for alleged pollution and environmental violations. The facilities affected are ABZAT Quarry, Hoafong Mining Trading Company Ltd, Emono Venture, and Mivanyi Integrated Farms.

The enforcement operation took place on Thursday and was led by Mr. Da’am Monday, Head of Operations at NESREA’s Karu Operational Office. NESREA stated that these facilities were shut down for failing to comply with environmental standards and regulatory requirements.

This action is part of NESREA's ongoing nationwide enforcement initiative aimed at ensuring compliance among industrial, mining, and quarrying operators to prevent activities that could harm public health and degrade the environment. The agency has increasingly utilized facility closures as an enforcement measure, particularly against operators who disregard environmental regulations.

NESREA has also intensified monitoring of quarrying activities in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and previously sealed off 29 facilities in September 2025 across Ekiti, Osun, and Ogun States for similar violations.
