Revealing this development at a partnership meeting between
the Lagos State Parking Authority and ARCA Payment Ltd., the General Manager of
LASPA, Mrs. Adebisi Adelabu, stated that the partnership was to improve the
overall parking system by ensuring a seamless transaction process for permits,
registration, inquiry among others.
According to her, this is a commitment towards integrating
technological solutions into the authority’s parking management system, which
will provide a user-friendly system while building an accurate database to
manage parking proceedings for the state.
She noted that the authority had adopted innovative ways in
providing lasting solutions to parking challenges for a safe and secure
environment, adding that the ultimate aim was to give Lagosians the best and
most suitable parking experience.
Adelabu explained that the initiative guarantees a
stress-free process for end-users of the authority’s services, emphasising the
effect on reconciliation and revenue assurance for the government.
The general manager emphasised that the authority had been
committed to supporting various organisations and business entities to identify
and proffer long-term solutions to their parking challenges as it had observed
that most organisations operating in the state lack adequate parking space,
which contributed to indiscriminate parking.
While describing the various interventions introduced to
reduce indiscriminate parking across the state, she averred that the government
had commenced the installation of signage and lane markings in phases across
the state to guide motorists and pedestrians to available parking lots.
She urged the public to support the LASPA’s efforts towards
improving the parking system of the state, noting that enforcement of parking
regulations had significantly reduced road mishaps and traffic congestion
across the metropolis.
