The Lagos State Government is collaborating with worship centers to address the problem of noise pollution.
The state’s environmental protection agency recently organized a workshop to raise awareness among representatives of various religious houses.
In response to concerns about noise pollution, some religious houses in Lagos were recently shut down by the environmental authorities.
A workshop organised aims to educate stakeholders on the importance of conducting their activities and worship in a manner that does not disturb the environment and the surrounding community.
Religious leaders emphasized the need for adherents to respect the rights of others by minimizing noise pollution.
Simultaneously, the agency is extending its awareness campaign against noise pollution to include event centers and clubs, highlighting the irreversible damage to the ears caused by excessive noise.
