24 Religious Buildings Shut Down By Lagos State Government Over Noise Pollution

At the 2015 ministerial press briefing held in Alausa Secretariat, Ikeja yesterday, April 29th, Lagos State Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello, disclosed that the state government in the last one year has shut down 24 religious buildings in the state following complaints of noise pollution they produce in areas where they are situated.

“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.” he said
