BREAKING ! If You’re A Christian, Have A Car, READ This Immediately As Lagos Govt Makes Shocking Announcement
In a recent announcement, the Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) has declared that members of churches will soon have to pay for parking their vehicles on designated streets.
This new policy, set to begin in October 2024, was communicated in a letter addressed to the chairman of the Lagos State branch of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN). The letter was signed by Ayokunle Akinrimisi, the Head of Operations at LASPA.
Akinrimisi explained that the on- street parking scheme aims to regulate parking within the Lagos State metropolis. ” I am directed to inform your revered organisation that Lagos State Parking Authority will be commencing its On- Street Parking Scheme at designated streets within the Lagos State metropolis, ” Akinrimisi stated.
The new scheme will charge church members for parking on these streets by the hour. This move is part of the government’ s efforts to manage traffic congestion and ensure orderly parking practices in the city. Akinrimisi emphasized that vehicles parked indiscriminately would face enforcement actions.
” In view of this, I am using this medium to inform your eminence that vehicles parked on designated streets by the church and its members will be charged hourly, and indiscriminately parked vehicles will be enforced upon accordingly, ” he explained.
The LASPA also encouraged the PFN and its members to reach out for further clarification or additional information regarding the new parking scheme. ” Please do not hesitate to get in touch with the authority for further information, ” Akinrimisi concluded.
This new parking policy is expected to impact many churchgoers who rely on street parking during services. The Lagos State government believes that this measure will help manage the city’ s limited parking spaces more effectively and reduce traffic issues in busy areas.
As the implementation date approaches, church members and other city residents will need to adjust to the new regulations to ensure a smooth transition and avoid penalties.
