Lagos govt to start charging cars parked outside church premises per hour
The Lagos State government has informed churches that it will commence its on-street parking scheme, which will allow it to charge cars parked on designated streets hourly.
A notice by the Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA), dated July 19 and signed by its head of operations, Ayokunle Akinrimisi, said the directive would take effect in October.
The notice, addressed to the branch chairman of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), said measures would also be taken against cars parked indiscriminately.
It read, “I am directed to inform your revered organisation that the Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) will be commencing its on-street parking scheme at designated streets within the Lagos State metropolis.”
“In view of this, I am using this medium to inform your eminence that vehicles parked on designated streets by the church and its members will be charged hourly and indiscriminately parked vehicles will be enforced upon accordingly.”
LASPA advised that the directive “be adhered to as a law-abiding organisation.”
However, the agency did not disclose the actual fee to be charged.
