Lagos State To Close Down Churches And Mosques Over Noise Pollution
The Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday commenced a bid that could help the state stem the rising trend of noise pollution.
It was learnt that residents of the state have variously complained
about the impact of noise pollution from places of worships, commercial
bus drivers, and those who use loud speakers in the sales of their
commodities.
The House, apart from calling on the state Ministry of Information
and Strategy to begin an enlightenment campaign to sensitise the public
on the danger that noise pollution poses to health and the need to stem
its tide, also called on the state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, to direct
the General Manager of the state Environmental Protection Agency to
commence the discharge of the statutory responsibility conferred on the
agenvy by Section 9 (a) of the state Environmental Protection Agency
Law, 1996.
The House also resolved to call on the state Ministry of Home Affairs
and Culture to ensure that the use of public address systems are
discouraged within the community so as not to disturb the peace and
tranquility of the various communities.
The House decision came after a motion titled: “Need for Regulation of Noise Pollution in Lagos State” and raised by the member representing Epe Constituency 1, Abiodun Tobun.
