Enugu State government has directed night club owners and other entertainment operators to mitigate their noise pollution in the capital city, particularly in residential areas.
Chairman of Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority, ECTDA Uche Anya gave the directive when it held stakeholders engagement meeting with the operators in Enugu.
Anya stated the state government is proud that the operators chose Enugu to perform their businesses, notes that no mega city exists without night life which the state government is willing to partner with the operators for decent bubbling night life.
He regretted that his office has received no fewer than 200 petitions from residential neighbours against the operators, complaining about their inability to sleep at nights because of the noise pollution emanating from the business operations.
Reacting, the operators promised to respond to the government directive after deliberating with their members.
