Abstract: Whitefield Hotels Limited appointed MESSR Roygbiv Analytical and Environmental Services Nigeria Limited – a NESREA-accredited consultant, for the purpose of this Environmental Audit Report. NESREA (National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency) guidelines and protocols for audit investigation and reporting are employed in preparing this report to evaluate the impact of the activities of Whitefield Hotels Nigeria Limited. An assessment of the location in terms of compatibility and of process and housekeeping of the hotel was undertaken. This initial contact ensured management consent and the selection of an audit team from the hotel. A standard questionnaire was administered to the management and key staff to obtain information that was used in the facility inspection as well as an examination of records and documents of the company. Thus, various strategies for treating wastewater and solid waste have been proffered to minimize generation instead of treatment. Further measures in which the trash can be reused directly, subject to the guidelines of NESREA, were suggested in this report. Similarly, the general welfare and health security, including the prevention of the proliferation of disease-causing organisms that can lead to illness, were addressed in this work.
