Lagos to ban parking on roads

 


Trailer and container owners in Lagos State have been cautioned by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu not to park on the road.


Sanwo-Olu cautioned that offenders would face prosecution while speaking during the opening of Jimoh Odutola Road, Surulere, and Reeve Road/Onilegbale Road in Ikoyi, Lagos.


The governor of Lagos state, who was represented by his deputy Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, stated that they are prepared to execute a legislation banning parking on public streets.


Residents of the state were also urged to take full ownership of all infrastructures provided by protecting and maintaining them adequately.

 

The Governor said; 

 

“The challenge we always have is that trailers will always park on the road. As a government, we will not accept it and we will enforce it. Let us do the right thing by taking good care of our roads and other infrastructure in the state.

“Mechanics should get a workshop instead of turning the roads to workshops likewise truck/container owners. We want you to do your business but do right by getting a place as a park 

By so doing, government will have more funds to provide additional infrastructure across the state for the well-being of all citizens.

“Let us protect our infrastructures so that we can have more money to spend on other good things rather than fixing what we had done earlier.”
