Lagos commences implementation of parking permit law

The Lagos State Parking Authority has warned defaulters of substantial fines and immediate suspension of operations, as the agency commences enforcement of the 2026 parking permit regulations across its operational zones in the state,

The General Manager of LASPA, Adebisi Adelabu, in a statement shared on the state government page Wednesday stated that  the enforcement marked the end of the prolonged grace period granted to customers to regularise their activities and obtain their 2026 parking permits.

Adelabu said the extension was intended to give affected customers sufficient opportunity to meet their obligations and comply with the authority’s requirements.

She said the enforcement was aimed at ensuring compliance with approved parking regulations, promoting accountability and strengthening the management of parking activities across Lagos.

She added that the exercise would also ensure compliance with laws governing the transport sector while streamlining parking management across the state.

The LASPA boss expressed concern that many customers were yet to obtain their 2026 parking permits despite several appeals, direct communications, reminders and the extended grace period.

She said: “The commencement of the enforcement marks the end of the prolonged grace period granted to customers to regularise their activities and obtain their 2026 parking permits.”

The LASPA boss added that the agency had earlier distributed the 2026 Demand Notices to all registered customers, with the applicable fees, requirements and procedures for obtaining the permits clearly stated.

She urged customers who had yet to regularise their operations to take immediate steps to fulfill their obligations and avoid sanctions for continued non-compliance.
