For violating the COVID-19 safety protocols of the state, the Lagos State Government through the Ministry of Tourism Arts and Culture has shut down and revoked the license of Queens Park Event Centre Oniru.
Confirming the development, the Lagos Commissioner for Tourism, Uzamat Akinbile-Yussuf, said that the step to withdraw the license was taken in the best interest of the State, thus imploring other event centres and venue owners to comply with the government’s laid down directives or risk losing their chances of doing business in Lagos.
Akinbile-Yussuf stressed that the fight against the virus can only be successful if everyone follows all the laid down public health and safety protocols.
