Obuah announced the directive in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday.
He explained that the centre, located at Plot 135, Mustapha Bello Street, Guzape, was polluting the environment with noise—particularly at night—along with other contraventions.
He stated that the centre would remain closed until further notice.
The coordinator said the action was part of ongoing efforts to tackle noise pollution and other environmental violations across the nation’s capital.
