The Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA) Wednesday, met with leaders of religious groups and owners of event centres in a bid to discuss ways of curbing noise pollution in the area.
The meeting held at the state secretariat, Enugu, was part of the agency’s campaign to clamp down on the menace of noise pollution in the state.
Recall that the state government in December 2023 as part of its urban renewal policy, directed all night clubs, beer parlours and other entertainment operators to mitigate their noise pollution in the capital city, particularly in residential areas.
In his address during the meeting, the Chairman, ECTDA, Uche Anya, said the engagement was apt, emphasizing that the state government would soon commence the implementation of the Anti-Noise Pollution Policy.
He said the implementation will begin from November 15, 2024 with sanctions, and advised churches and owners of entertainment centres to soundproof their buildings so as not to disturb the neighbourhood.
The ECTDA boss explained that the aim of the engagement was not to demolish any church or entertainment centre, but to brainstorm on the best way to make the residential areas hospitable.
While stating that the authority had received over a thousand petitions from the people concerning the rate of noise pollution in the state, the ECTDA chairman urged church leaders and entertainment centres to ensure that their buildings were soundproofed.
“I have been in this office for one year and in the last year we have received over a thousand petitions complaining about noise pollution.
“Noise pollution from Independence Layout to GRA, from GRA to Trans- Ekulu, from Trans-Ekulu to Agbani Road, from Agbani Road to Abakpa Nike, from Abakpa Nike to Ugwuaji, from Ugwuaji to name it to Mayor people are in pains,” he stated.
Anya threatened to shut down any church or entertainment centre sited within the residential zones that refuses to comply with the directives of the government even when it obtained any form of noise permit from the state government.
He promised that the agency would be humane in handling the situation which according to him, was not aimed at harming anyone, but to make the state conducive for living and for the best interest of the citizens.
In their separate speeches, Rev. Carley Ibekwe and the leader of Hausa community in Enugu, Alhaji Sariki Sambo, assured the agency of their readiness to comply with the directives.
Also, the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on mainstream media, Dan Nwome and his new media counterpart, Dr Reuben Onyishi who commended the ECTDA chairman for his efforts in bringing sanity in the metropolis, urged the agency to also consider relocating roadside mechanics to a befitting place.
The stakeholders' engagement had in attendance religious leaders both the Christians and Muslims, owners of entertainment centres among others.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
