Lagos Mulls Noise Maps to Curb Noise Pollution
By Dipo Olowookere
The Lagos State Government has revealed its desire to manage and reduce noise pollution across the metropolis in view of the need to protect citizens’ rights and privileges towards good life in a serene and comfortable environment.
General Manager of the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA), Mr Ayodele Antonio, said noise has always been a major stress in an urban environment, noting that the ability to measure ambient noise levels and its appropriate representation on the map of Lagos will provide a powerful tool for spatial identification of noise source, its spread and impacts.
Speaking at the 4th Annual Stakeholders Interactive Session on noise pollution control in Lagos State held last week at the Adeyemi-Bero Auditorium, Ikeja, Mr Antonio said the process will ensure that decision making in relation to noise control and management becomes easy for the state government, stressing that noise mapping has the potential to enable data accessibility to the general public in a way that is comprehensible.
βIn decreasing noise pollution, there is a need for the preparation of noise maps, to enable comparison between noise levels relative to noise locations on the maps, which will serve as noise control measure and reduce the number of people exposed to the menace, thereby ensuring a quality lifestyle in an acoustic environment,β he said.
Commissioner for Environment in the state, Mr Babatunde Durosinmi- Etti, in his contribution, said noise is recognised as a serious environmental infraction which must be addressed using sustainable developmental policies designed to improve the quality of life for the citizenry.
According to Mr Durosinmi-Etti, the fast social and economic growth in the 20th century was without adherence to adequate land planning and environmental laws, consequently, cities face increasing noise levels amongst environmental infractions.
The Commissioner pointed out that the growing awareness of the menace on the environment has called for necessary action by the state government to manage and reduce noise pollution in Lagos, adding that urban noise must, therefore, be managed and controlled in such a way that excessive noise does not conflict with human activities and people’s perception of wellbeing.
He averred that the Lagos State government had enacted the new Environmental Management and Protection Law 2017, with the sole aim of achieving a clean and smart environment.

Globy Platform: B2B Marketplace and Its Logistics Calculator
Wholesale marketplaces were created so that business owners could find profitable offers and make deals on B2B platforms worldwide. In addition to buyers and sellers, there are traders, distributors, logisticians, and other professionals on such platforms. Let’s take a closer look at these professions. Traders purchase goods in order to resell them at a higher price; speculation is allowed on B2B marketplaces and is a legal instrument. Distributors are the official representatives of the manufacturer, meaning you can purchase original products at the lowest price. Most often, goods are purchased in China and then transported by sea to European countries or North America. We suggest you try the Globy Platform, where the most reputable Asian distributors are registered. Logisticians can also register on Globy. They provide services for the transportation of goods by sea. The following are the advantages of Globy, which are mentioned most often:
- quick registration on the portal;
- website with simple navigation and management;
- excellent choice of reliable suppliers;
- most relevant products in the catalog;
- free registration;
- no commission.
Some B2B platforms process payments, but Globy allows participants to make money payments outside the platform using one of the secure methods. In addition, Globy does not charge a commission when concluding a purchase deal. To start working on the platform, you need to register in accelerated mode or fill out a form with your company’s details. You can be sure that your banking details, personal, and contact information are protected. Third parties can only see the information that you leave open. When registering, do not forget to enter your company’s contact information (messenger, phone, email) so that new partners can contact you. You can pay attention to the fact that the Globy catalog contains items without specifying a price, but the product profile contains the vendor’s contacts. You can contact the seller to discuss the deal details, determining the price of the product.
Logistics Tool on Globy
There is often a situation when the supplier does not provide transportation services and the buyer has to search for a carrier on their own. In fact, this problem is solved simply. Globy has a special tool that helps you quickly find a charterer. You would open the freight calculator and fill in all the fields in the suggested form. You would specify the sending and destination port, and don’t forget to specify the dates and choose the container size. If you want to place containers in an optimal way, then use the load calculator, which is also available for free on the official website. You can use these tools only after registration. You can log in quickly if you have a Google account or a LinkedIn profile. After entering the data, the freight calculator will process your request and provide a list of prices. You can select a suitable line and contact the charterer to discuss the details of the contract. It is recommended to choose a sea delivery with a minimum number of intermediate stops, in which case the cargo will arrive at the destination port faster.
Receiving Cargo at the Destination Port
Buyers should remember that you can check the cargo when it arrives at the port. If the rules of transportation were violated, there was a long delay, or the goods were damaged, you can refuse the cargo, explaining the reason. You can discuss a price reduction with the supplier if the product has lost its proper appearance or the packaging is damaged. You can evaluate the cargo yourself or with the help of third-party experts. It is best to carefully check the documentation when receiving the goods at the port. All documents must be executed in accordance with international law. You can register on Globy today, find the goods you need, and use the logistics tools for free. More than fifty-five thousand users have already been registered on the platform, which indicates the high authority of Globy. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the Help Center on Globy website.
