…Lagos State Government Owns Setbacks
Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) has debunked the viral post on social media that, the agency will charge on cars parked in the compound of Lagos residents. LASPA described the post as false, defamatory to the image of the Authority and the Lagos State Government.
According to a statement signed by the GM of LASPA, Mrs Adebisi Adelabu, which reads;
“The attention of the General Manager of Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) has been drawn to a libellous post (on social media) by a business owner(s) that the Authority and its staff dispatched a DEMAND NOTICE, charging them to pay the sum of N290,000 for parking in their compound.
“This is absolutely untrue, scandalous, unacceptable and inimical to the image of the Authority and the Lagos State Government.
“We present to the general public pictural evidence that the said property was charged for parking cars on its setback which by law belong to the Government of Lagos State.
“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 statement and falsehood.
“Igbega Ipinle Eko, Ajumose ni”, she concluded.
