The Lagos State Government has denied imposing parking fees on worshippers and churches in the state.<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\nAccording to Mrs Adebisi Adelabu, General Manager, Lagos State Parking Authority, LASPA, who issued a statement in Lagos on Sunday, the policy is meant for only motorists who intend to make use of the newly created 1,800 parking slots of the\u00a0 LASPA.<\/p>\n
Adelabu expressed concern about a recent social media post regarding parking charges for churches and worshippers in Lagos State.<\/p>\n
The statement read: \u201cThe post incorrectly stated that LASPA on Saturday announced it will from October charge churches and worshippers in Lagos State, who parked vehicles on designated streets around places of worship.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo clarify the matter, LASPA wishes to emphasise that this information is inaccurate and does not reflect the true intent of our communication.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Lagos State Government is not imposing parking fees on churches or worshippers for parking on streets around religious institutions.<\/p>\n
\u201cRather, LASPA is implementing the Lagos State Parking Policy to mitigate parking induced traffic congestion across the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cLagos is experiencing a high demand for parking spaces that exceeds available space like many other major cities worldwide facing similar challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adelabu clarified that inadequacy of space that prompted the agency to adopt a regulated on-street parking model to manage parking resources efficiently.<\/p>\n
She recalled that the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, earlier this year, approved the introduction of a regulated on-street parking, which was announced during a stakeholder\u2019s forum on Feb.14, adding that the religious organisations and other stakeholders were adequately represented at the forum.<\/p>\n
According to the LASPA boss, the outcome of the forum was later communicated to the umbrella bodies representing these groups, which was also referenced in a news release making the rounds on social media.<\/p>\n
