Lagos House Steps Down LASPA GM Nominee, Confirms Others

The Lagos State House of Assembly has stepped down the nomination of Mrs. Adebisi Adelabu as the general manager of the Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA), citing serious procedural breaches linked to her earlier tenure.

During Thursday’s plenary session presided over by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Mudashiru Obasa, members questioned Mrs. Adelabu for having occupied the office of General Manager of LASPA since 2021 without ever submitting herself to the constitutionally required screening process.

Lawmakers described her prolonged, unapproved stay in office as a clear violation of legislative authority. This infraction had led the House to nullify her appointment on November 18, 2025.

Despite being nominated again, persistent irregularities and failure to convince the House during the screening exercise led to a unanimous decision to again step down her confirmation for deeper review.

Conversely, other nominees forwarded by the Governor faced no such controversies and were screened and confirmed. These include Mr. Kehinde Durosinmi‑Etti as Chairman of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund; Engr. Olopade Adekunle, Barr. Mrs. Temitope George, Mr. Alexander Akinwunmi, Mr. Falola Olakunle and Mr. Bello Wasiu Oladimeji into various leadership and membership roles within the Lagos State Electricity Regulatory Commission.

The House thereafter adjourned sine die.
