According to Fasawe, “To avert situation like this, we recently held a stakeholder’s parley with the Owners/ Chief Executive Officers of night clubs in the state to address the issue of noise pollution during the festive period.

“The states in its magnality, compassionately increased the decibels to accommodate leisure/hospitality business interest.

Invitation to Quilox
