The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA), under the leadership of its General Manager Babatunde Ajayi, has released the latest Air Quality Index (AQI) readings across Lagos as of 10:00 a.m. on November 17, 2025, showing mostly stable conditions across the state, with Egbeda emerging as the only location with an “Unhealthy” rating.
Ajayi shared the update on his official X page, accompanied by a visual breakdown of AQI levels recorded across six monitoring points.
AQI Breakdown (10:00 a.m., November 17, 2025)
- Egbeda, Alimosho — 38.86 (Unhealthy)

According to LASEPA, while most areas fall within the ‘Moderate’ category—indicating acceptable air quality for the general public—Egbeda’s “Unhealthy” rating may pose health risks to sensitive groups such as:
- Individuals with asthma or respiratory conditions

Public Advisory
Residents in Egbeda are urged to:
- Reduce prolonged outdoor exposure

Ajayi reassured Lagosians that LASEPA remains committed to continuous real-time monitoring and will keep the public informed of any significant changes in air quality across the state.
