As one of Africa’s fastest-growing megacities, Lagos faces increasing environmental pressure from rapid urbanization, industrial activity, vehicular emissions, and population density. These factors contribute significantly to air pollution, posing risks to public health, environmental sustainability, and regulatory compliance.
Recognizing the need for reliable, continuous, and localized air quality data, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) sought a modern monitoring solution that could move beyond sporadic measurements and manual reporting toward real-time, data-driven environmental governance.
Before Miri’s deployment, air quality monitoring in Lagos was limited by several critical gaps:
Lack of continuous, real-time data across different parts of the state
Insufficient spatial coverage to identify pollution hotspots accurately
Delayed access to insights, limiting rapid response and enforcement
Challenges in public communication, making it difficult to translate data into clear, actionable information for residents
To effectively regulate emissions, protect public health, and inform policy decisions, LASEPA needed a scalable system that delivered accurate, hyperlocal, and accessible air quality intelligence.
Miri partnered with LASEPA to design and deploy a comprehensive air quality monitoring system tailored to Lagos State's unique urban landscape.
Miri installed air quality monitoring devices across strategic locations within Lagos, capturing key pollution indicators and environmental parameters at ground level. These devices operate continuously, ensuring uninterrupted data collection.
All sensor data is transmitted to the Miri Console, where it is processed, stored, and analyzed in real time. This enables LASEPA to monitor pollution trends as they happen, rather than relying on delayed reports.
Miri built a dedicated, monitored dashboard specifically for LASEPA, providing:
Miri actively monitors the system to ensure data accuracy, device uptime, and system reliability—allowing LASEPA to focus on enforcement, planning, and public engagement.
The partnership delivered measurable improvements in how Lagos State monitors and manages air quality:
Continuous insight into pollution levels across multiple urban zones
Reliable evidence to support environmental regulation and compliance actions
Faster identification of pollution spikes and high-risk areas
Clear, structured data for internal reviews, policy development, and stakeholder communication
Better foundations for public advisories and awareness campaigns
This collaboration represents a major step toward modern environmental governance in Nigeria. By combining smart sensing hardware with real-time analytics, Lagos State now has the tools needed to:
Miri’s commercial momentum is driven by real-world impact. Through the deployment of Miri Air devices, Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has generated measurable increases in environmental compliance enforcement—resulting in $90,000 in fines and regulatory revenues between October and December 2025, and an additional $70,000 in January 2026.
This demonstrates how accurate, real-time air quality data directly translates into stronger enforcement outcomes and increased public-sector revenue.
Interest in Miri’s solutions continues to grow. We are seeing strong inbound demand from government agencies across Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, and Angola, reflecting the urgent need for reliable, localized environmental data across the continent.
