The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) through the Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC) has ordered the immediate closure of Myra Event Centre in Abuja, over noise pollution.
The coordinator of AMMC, Mr Felix Obuah, announced the directive in a statement in Abuja yesterday.
Obuah explained that the centre, located at Plot 135, Mustapha Bello Street, Guzape district, polluted the environment with noise, particularly at night, along with other contraventions.
He said that the centre would remain closed until further notice.
The coordinator further said that the action was part of ongoing efforts to address noise pollution and other environmental violations across the nation’s capital.
He reiterated the administration’s zero-tolerance policy for violations that threaten public health and community harmony.
Obuah advised event centres against noise pollution, stressing the need to operate within the provisions of environmental laws guiding their operations.
He said that any event centre that indulges in noise pollution would be closed immediately.
Obuah urged FCT residents to report environmental violations through AMMC official channels, emphasising the need for collective action to protect the environment in the interest of the public.
