The human rights lawyer maintained that it is the constitutional responsibility of the local governments and not the state to collect park levies.

RE: LAGOS PARKING LEVY IS CONSTITUTIONAL

In the said press statement, Mr Haroun stated that the Lagos State Parking Authority 2018 “empowers the Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas in Lagos State to assign their power in respect of collection of fees relating to the State Government.” In support of the contention, Mr Haroun referred to the case of Ola Animashaun Harimot Oluwabukola v. Attorney-General of Lagos State & 5 Ors in Appeal No.

Mr Falana, please this your legal watch and on the pages of newspapers and social media are not helping the governments. You have been on this path for a long time. Why not engage to correct the legal missteps fairly than ambushing them? Some legal seams desire revisions, please.

I don't really think they know what they are saying, if I parked my cars in my house they will collect parking fees from me after paying land use and vehicle license. I can't see any sense in the proposal. Whoever is advocating for it is not a friend of the present Government.

That's the nonsense they want to spread all over the country.. They want to create an agency for Agbero and legalize it but God will disappoint them....
