The Lagos State Government has issued a directive requiring all hospitality businesses, including hotels, event centres, and nightclubs, to obtain approvals from both the Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) and the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).
This was disclosed in a joint statement signed by the General Manager of LASPA, Adebisi Adelabu, and the General Manager of LASTMA, Bakare-Oki Olalekan.
The measure is intended to curb indiscriminate parking and traffic congestion caused by these establishments.
