LAGOS PARKING PERMIT DEFAULTERS FACE FINES, SUSPENSION

By: Fasasi Hammad
The Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) has commenced enforcement of the 2026 parking permit regulations across its operational zones, warning defaulters of substantial fines and immediate suspension of their operations.
The General Manager of LASPA, Adebisi Adelabu, disclosed this in a statement shared on the state government’s page on Tuesday, noting that the enforcement marked the end of the extended grace period given to customers to regularise their activities and obtain their 2026 parking permits.
Adelabu explained that the extension was granted to provide affected customers with adequate time to fulfil their obligations and comply with the authority’s requirements.
She said the enforcement was aimed at ensuring adherence to approved parking regulations, promoting accountability and improving the management of parking activities across Lagos.
According to her, the exercise would also strengthen compliance with laws governing the transport sector while streamlining parking management across the state.

Adelabu expressed concern that despite several appeals, direct communications, reminders and the extended grace period, many customers were yet to obtain their 2026 parking permits.
She said LASPA had previously issued 2026 Demand Notices to all registered customers, detailing the applicable fees, requirements and procedures for obtaining the permits.
The LASPA boss urged customers who had not regularised their operations to do so immediately to avoid sanctions for continued non-compliance.
She stressed that the enforcement exercise was not intended to punish operators but to restore order, accountability and efficiency within Lagos’ parking system.
Adelabu explained that valid parking permits and accurate customer records were essential for LASPA to effectively plan, monitor, regulate and manage parking infrastructure and services across the state.
She warned that customers who defaulted on the 2026 Demand Notices would face severe penalties, including substantial fines and immediate suspension of operations.
According to her, the sanctions would be enforced in line with the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018.
She therefore urged all affected customers to promptly regularise their operations and obtain the required parking permits.
Adelabu assured customers that LASPA personnel remained available to provide assistance and guidance, including support with the authority’s online payment and registration portals.
She also reaffirmed LASPA’s commitment to developing an efficient and sustainable parking system for residents, businesses and visitors across Lagos State.
The LASPA boss appealed to members of the public to cooperate with enforcement officers during the exercise and report unauthorised parking activities to the authority.
