Lagos Government Cracks Down on Noise Pollution, Seals 352 Churches and Mosque

The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has intensified its fight against noise pollution, sealing 352 facilities, including religious houses, over the past year.

LASEPA General Manager, Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, revealed that residents’ non-compliance with regulations remains a significant challenge. Despite initial compliance after enforcement, many offenders revert to their old ways, prompting repeated action.

Ajayi emphasized that fines and penalties are crucial for maintaining order, citing global best practices. He noted that the use of loudspeakers and microphones at bus stops and religious houses is a major concern, with the religious sector being the largest contributor to noise pollution.

LASEPA engages with religious leaders to educate them on the dangers of noise pollution and the need to maintain decibel levels below 60 during services. This effort promotes a noiseless environment and ensures public safety.

Ajayi stressed the importance of responsible behavior, stating, “There must be consequences for actions. It’s not only Nigeria’s problem, it’s global. People tend to go back to bad behavior.”
