Lagos government issued warning to nightclubs, churches, and mosques on noise pollution

The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has issued noise pollution warnings to churches, mosques, nightclubs, pubs, and event venues.

Churches, mosques, and nightclubs were advised in a statement on LASEPA’s X account to abide by the recommended sound levels in order to minimise noise pollution.

It made the argument that communities’ peace and wellbeing are seriously threatened by excessive noise.

As a courtesy to our neighbourhoods, make sure that sound levels are kept within reasonable bounds.
