She said that the indiscriminate parking is causing heavy gridlock and inconvenience for motorists. on the major roads.
Adelabu stated that such incessant act by night clubs negated government’s continuous efforts towards improving the parking culture.
‘’Government is not ready to entertain any form of contravention of the parking law in the state.
“Hence, we will take necessary actions against erring clubs, especially those situated in residential/high density or high traffic flow areas of the state,” she said.

She, however advised the non-complying night clubs to obtain parking permit from the authority and get alternative land for parking.
Adelabu said that LASPA was regulating parking to make the roads traffic free for the comfort of all residents.
She stressed that punitive measures for defaulting outlets, including closing of facilities, clamping/towing of vehicles, among other sanctions, would be taken.
She said that LASPA would continue to enlighten residents on the effect of indiscriminate parking, underlining its huge effect on traffic congestion across the metropolis.
Adelabu said that LASPA plans to begin full implementation of parking policy in 2023.
She called on the public to shun all forms of indiscriminate parking.
