THE Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, LASEPA, yesterday, disclosed that over 352 facilities including religious houses have been shut down across various parts of the state in the last year over noise pollution and other environmental infractions.

The General Manager of LASEPA, Dr Babatunde Ajayi, disclosed this in his office, Ikeja, while giving one year report of his stewardship to the media.

Ajayi said: ‘Residents are bad behaved in of complying with regulations. One major challenge of noise pollution is that after enforcement they comply for a while, before you know it, they go ballistic again. They go back to the same offence.

“Then we start the process again. The reason we have them to comply for a while is because they pay fines and we shut them down.

“There is no city in the world that does not leverage fines and penalties for violations. There must be consequences for actions.

“It’s not only Nigeria’s problem, is global. People tend to go back to bad behaviour.

“The use of microphones also at bus stops and religious houses are major concern. Even Christian worshippers come out with loudspeakers and microphones to preach in public.

“For noise pollution, the religious sector takes the highest because there is little or no control in of how you can set up religious houses going by our current regulations.

“It takes a strong-willed policy to have that in control. I[b]n Nigeria today some churches want to have two branches on a street or Mosques.[/b]

“We have had conversations with representatives of religious houses about why noise pollution is a bad idea and why they need to maintain less than 60 decibels for decorum during service, and the danger they are causing to the public as well as themselves. We do this engagement regularly.”

Wonderful development,all those useless building should be demolished

Lagos state doesn't discriminate

If you disturb the state you collect

Very necessary. Religion is the reason the black man can never develop...

nice

Very good, other state should do the same.
Am a Christian but our people always overdo with noise pollution from loud speakers, even at mid week services.

Vigil are the worst, I always imagine how much we disturb people sleeping at home on Friday mid night with every church blasting their speakers as if it's daytime.

Next arrest should be those that engage in early morning preaching with bell
I sincerely wonder if their preaching has positive effect on anyone, because it's always an intimidation and condemnation of sinners as if anybody holy for naija.

I wish they can put this same energy to dismantle corruption amongst themselves.

God bless Lagos . God bless 🇳🇬 if I was to ever relocate back to naija . Eko is first choice 💯

Make una rest

Must you drop unrelated comments

Amazing development. Many will sleep peacefully. I living in a ghetto once. Every night, seven churches competed with each other on which could make the loudest noise during night vigils. It wouldn’t have been a problem for three nights. Every blessed night for two weeks was deafening.

God bless you we need to stop noise pollution
Especially in Lagos 5 church will be in one street
Noise left and right

Megacity

Not only mosque and churches. There's this new madness now drinking/beer parlor that play extremely loud music throughout the night. 😡 😡 😡

There's one in my vicinity that should be closed too

Jesus is Lord

Noise pollution will reduce

Seal all of them

Good!
Christianity is about touching your society positively not all these physical demonstrations and noise!
Jesus while on earth was the most anti-religious person, its about living a good life and following his footsteps not becoming a nuisance to society
