The Lagos State House of Assembly has urged the Lagos State Parking Authority (LSPA) to immediately begin the full implementation of the State’s Parking Policy.
The Chairman, House Committee on Transportation, Temitope Adewale, made this known during a media briefing on Friday at the assembly in Lagos.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had on Thursday night announced the suspension of all National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) activities in the state with immediate effect.
Mr Adewale (Ifako Ijaiye 1) said that full implementation of the parking policies would reduce traffic congestion and ensure improved road safety in the state.

The Chairman noted that with the recent suspension of the union and further take-over of the motor parks, the days of indiscriminate parking of commercial vehicles along major roads in the metropolis were numbered.
He said, “The Lagos State Parking Policy has been designed to decongest traffic and address climate change challenges.
“The policy which is created under the Transportation Reform Law was to create job opportunities and generate revenue for the state through issuance of parking tickets to defaulters.
“Hence, there should not be any contention over the steps being taken by the State Government following the crisis currently rocking the union.
