The Lagos State Government has denied reports suggesting that worshippers will be charged for parking around churches.
Speaking through a statement on Sunday by the General Manager of the Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA), Adebisi Adelabu, the government said the state’s parking policy will affect all motorists who intend to utilise the newly created 1,800 parking slots of the Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA).
According to her, the parking policy is designed to mitigate parking-induced traffic congestion across the state and not inflict hardships on the people.

She added that like many other major cities worldwide facing similar challenges, Lagos is experiencing a high demand for parking spaces that exceeds the available supply, hence the decision to adopt a regulated on-street parking model to better manage parking resources efficiently.
