Lagos begins collection of levy for parking on the road, outside perimeter fence

The Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA), in a viral encounter with a business, Nellies, demanded a levy of N290,000 for parking lots on setbacks.

According to a letter by the agency, the business is charged N80,000 per annum on three parking slots for off-street with N50,000 as nonrefundable administrative processing fee.

In protest of the charges, the business owner claimed he parked in his car inside the compound.

In response to the business owner’s outburst, LASPA posted picture evidence of the violation to justify the demand for the levy charged.

LASPA General Manager, Adebisi Adelabu (Mrs), said; “The general public MUST be aware that LASPA or any of its staffers or agents WILL NOT charge on cars parked in any compound but if anyone parks on the setback, such person, organization or group of persons will be charged accordingly.

“A setback (for obvious reasons) is the space between your perimeter fencing and the walkway or the road, as the case may be. Whoever claims he/she owns a setback around his/her property will have to provide official documentation from the Authorized MDA in Lagos State showing the legal ownership of the said setback and the TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT (TIA) certificate of the property to the Authority.

“The general public should please be equipped with this important information going forward. The Authority frowns at such malicious statements and falsehood.”
