Lagos Shuts Down 53 Churches,mosques And Hotels by nnadychuks(m): 4:30pm On Dec 10, 2015 |
Lagos State Government yesterday shut
down 53 churches, mosques and hotels
over noise pollution and environmental
nuisance in the state.
Some of the worship centres were shut
because they were converted from
residential apartments to places of worship
thereby contravening the law and
constituting nuisance to neighbours.
Lagos State Environmental Protection
Agency, LASEPA General Manager, Engr
Rasheed Shabi, while commenting on the
closures said the agency received lots of
complaints from residents and neighbours
of the worship centers
“In recent times, most of the petitions kept
coming back to us. It was as if we are not
working at all.
That was why we shut the premises. You
cannot have makeshift structure and say
you want to be conducting services or vigil
there.
Definitely, you will be disturbing your
neighbours.
So, the government won’t allow the use of
makeshift facilities as a church or mosque.
Nobody is allowed to make noise above 55
decibel during the day in the residential area
and only 45 decibel is allowed in such area
at night.
In the industrial areas, 90 decibel of noise is
allowed during the day while the noise rate
must not exceed 80 decibel at night in such
areas.
The compliance level is increasing. More
residents now understand the effect of
noise.
Some of the religious houses are also
complying with the noise pollution
regulations,”.
