“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,” the notice reads. “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 urged compliance with the directive, emphasizing the importance of adherence for law-abiding organizations. However, the notice did not disclose the specific fee to be charged for parking.
