The Lagos State Government has begged residents to be careful and selfless during the festive season.

According to Dr Dolapo Fasawe, the General Manager, Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, (LASEPA) every Lagosian should make sure they do not disturb the peace of their neighbours this Christmas.

She believes the advice is important because of the high rate of reports of infractions received by the agency.

She added that the government will not waste time to punish anyone who fails to be guided in their conduct or those who keep infringing on the rights of others all in the name of merriment.

Her words, ”We can merry without making noise, we should be good neighbours and therefore respect the right of others to peaceful environment.

”Also remember that a noiseless celebration is a peaceful celebration and this should be demonstrated through our actions to our neighbours and environment.”

”We can not isolate metropolitan city from social activities, but its unwanted impact must be minimised and regulated for a peaceful coexistence and harmonious working relationship.”
