The Lagos State Infrastructure Maintenance and Regulatory Agency has directed Internet Service Providers operating in three locations across the state to immediately clean up their telecommunications infrastructure ahead of an enforcement exercise scheduled for November 9, 2026.
The agency issued the directive in an urgent notice dated November 2, 2026, identifying Ilasan and Ikate, Allen Avenue in Ikeja, and the Customs Office area off Toyin Street, Ikeja, as the affected locations.
LASIMRA said all internet service providers operating within and around the locations must carry out the “immediate cleanup and sanitisation of their telecommunications infrastructure.”
It further directed the operators to ensure that their network infrastructure, including cables and associated installations, are “properly arranged, secured and cleared of any obstruction or environmental nuisance.”
The agency warned that enforcement operations would commence on Monday, November 9, urging concerned service providers to complete the required cleanup before the deadline.
“Please be informed that enforcement operations will commence on Monday, 9th November 2026. All concerned service providers are advised to complete the required cleanup before the commencement of enforcement to avoid possible sanctions,” the notice stated.
LASIMRA also called on all internet service providers operating within and around the affected locations to “give this notice the necessary attention and cooperate fully with the agency.”
The notice was signed by the agency’s General Manager, Prince Oyekanmi Elegushi.
LASIMRA said the directive was part of its efforts to promote “a safer, cleaner and better regulated Lagos.”
