Lagos shuts down 24 religious outfits over noise pollution

The Lagos State government yesterday revealed it shut down 24 religious houses in the last one year for contributing to noise pollution.

This was made known during the 2015 ministerial press briefing held by the Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello and General Manager of the Lagos State Environment Protection, LASEPA, Mr Ademola Shabi..Shabi said
 “We received over 1, 000 petitions in the year under review. But we have been able to resolve some and some have relocated.”We have shut about 24 religious outfits in the last one year because they failed to adhere to the state guidelines on noise pollution.”The religious outfits contribute about 50 percent of the noise pollution in the state. In the last few years, we have been having problem to control noise from these outfits. We have been able to shut them down while some have relocated from the community where they were.

  11. I visited a town the southeast recently and the 3 nights are spent there were very noisy. Some religious people took to the streets with public address systems blasting all through the nights preaching, singing, chanting. Don't get me wrong, It is cool to be religious but shouting all through the night in a high populated neighborhood is kind of strange. Moreover, despite all the preaching and screaming, people continue to commit sin.
