The Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) has intensified its advocacy ahead of the commencement of parking enforcement, with an awareness roadshow scheduled to hold in Ikorodu on Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
Speaking at a press briefing, LASPA General Manager, Mrs. Adebisi Adelabu, said the campaign is aimed at ensuring that businesses, vehicle owners and other stakeholders understand their parking obligations before enforcement begins.
She explained that enforcement, initially expected to commence earlier, was shifted to the end of September to allow for wider public sensitisation and engagement. Adelabu stressed that voluntary compliance remains LASPA’s preferred approach, with demand notices issued and queries addressed before enforcement is considered.
The General Manager warned businesses and corporate organisations against making cash payments to unauthorised collectors, urging them to settle their parking dues through LASPA’s official channels. She added that enforcement measures could include vehicle clamping and towing, as well as the closure of defaulting businesses through due legal process.
Adelabu also disclosed that LASPA is deploying technology, including a proposed mobile application and USSD verification system, to help motorists locate parking spaces, verify authorised parking attendants and make cashless payments. She said the Authority would work with the police during enforcement operations and deploy body cameras to improve safety and accountability.
The Authority urged businesses, motorists and residents, particularly those in Ikorodu, to participate in the roadshow, familiarise themselves with parking regulations and settle outstanding obligations before enforcement begins.
