 The Lagos State Government has refuted false alarms over parking levee by its agency, the Lagos State Parking Authority, LASPA, saying that the development was designed to eliminate indiscriminate levee collections. Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladendi, had a press briefing on the activities of the newly created agency, LASPA, in Alao Sai Keja on Wednesday, that against the erroneous claims by certain individuals and groups, LASPA has the power by law to collect park levees. Correspondent Love Ikukuo Yedekil tells us more in this report. This press conference is to put a record straight on a purported viral post on social media by her business owner. He alleged that on demand notice, the Lagos State Parking Authority, LASPA, charged him to pay the sum of 290,000 Naira for parking in his compound. But the Lagos State Government says he's all false. According to the Commissioner for Transportation, Frederic Oladendi, any setback, not in the title of a property, belongs to the government, except however, his claiming ownership proves otherwise. If you look at it, for example, you build a supermarket, the supermarket would have the space that is allocated to it and then the supermarket would have a fence around it. Now, the distance between the fence, because we believe that that fence is put, I mean they put it at the limit, and the distance between that fence and the drainage, which we know is not allocated to anybody, it's actually the setback, it's important that we understand the definition of a setback. That setback belongs to the government. Now, if the supermarket actually wants additional parking space, it's welcome to, I mean, they welcome to visit the agency and then pay for that parking space. The State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, BINGA or Motosha, sell the claims to an attempt to malign the government by mischievous people. For the relationship as I've seen on television, people don't do anything about law at all. They raise their hands and put in the air in anger to say that the only thing they can do is run. And they are basing this on false information that is to particle with your command. You are supposed to pay. I think this is the pharmacy of the year. It's not true and it's an attempt to malign the government by mischievous people, but I know that the purpose of the media might not be surprised if you see social change, because there is a season of politics. Virginia manager LASPA, a DBC Adelabo, enjoins developers and builders to accommodate park provisions in their building plans before construction. You cannot charge $2 million, $3 million, not $4 million for a venue and there is no parking. In Lagos today, there are some events centers that have 10 cars, 20 cars parking and you have seats that is very useful for thousands of people, 500 people. We feel as a government that that's very unfair because the day you have that event, that whole area is a lot broken. People can't get in and can't get out. You have to go get an hour or two to get one. These are some of the reasons why the government decided something needs to be done about that. The commissioner for transportation, Frederick Oladendie, enjoined legations to cooperate with the agency and other similar stakeholders in carrying out his mandate. Oladendie also employed interested and concerned members of the public to visit the agency's office for necessary information and assistance. Love Ikuku, Uyiduku, Plus TV.
