Governor of the state, Nyesom Wike gave this warning through his Special Adviser on Pollution Control, Mr. Nwuke Anucha.
While speaking in Port Harcourt, the state capital, during a pollution control and religious matters meeting with members of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Port Harcourt branch, the SA said the noise churches produce in Port Harcourt was becoming alarming.
He expressed concern that the noise produced by sound systems used by churches was causing unrest in the state, stressing that no responsible government would not take steps to reduce the menace.
Anucha said, “My lords, you will agree with me that the emission of gaseous substance, the sound level of our electric power generation sets and indeed the noise generated by the use of loudspeakers in some of our worship centers in no doubt cause serious disorder to human co-existence.
“It is on this premise of good neighbourliness that necessitated this meeting. The public outcry about the noise and air pollution generated by some of our churches is so alarming that no responsible and responsive government will shy away from taking necessary actions.
“Churches need to cut down the use of loudspeakers with a sound level not above the recommended decibel outside and inside. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

They think that God is deaf
ReplyDeleteWaoh. Good anyway but what happen when politician will come out to make their noise for position? The chucrh where politics worship? Hope they will not claim immunity? I hope this law is not only for who has no power? We are waiting for when Wike will give his daughter hands in marriage. May be this will happen wen immunity will not cover him. I hope I will not rush to court for injuntion against Rivers govt then? Think o becos we will not allow any noise pollution during your daughters or sons wedding o.
