The Lagos State Government on Tuesday, pronounce the ban of the use of amplifiers, microphone, megaphones at motor parks, so as to guarantee reduction in noise pollution in the environment.

According to him, noise pollution, which is an unwanted sound in excess of the permissible limits has become very prevalent in Lagos environment.”

The menace is causing stress with severe health implications, while those with long term exposure will be suffering from hearing loss that is detrimental to human health.”

Adults are believed to be the ones thought to show great concerns from problems associated with noise pollution, but children are quite vulnerable as well, more so as there are no known visible symptoms at an early age.

”Citizens are better informed of their rights to a safe and healthy environment following various advocacy programmes of the agency through electronic and print media. The most widely being the social media handles of the agency and its website,” he said.

The General Manager of LASEPA, Dr Dolapo Fasawe, has said from Wednesday, (today), it was illegal for any motor park in Lagos to make use of sound amplifiers and any other noise-making devices while calling on passengers.

Fasawe said that any park found violating the order would face the wrath of the law.

She added that section 177, subsection 2 of the Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection Law 2017, prohibited the making use of a public address system or loudspeaker to solicit passengers or advertise the sale of goods at parks, markets, and public places.
