The Lagos State Government has concluded plan to open the Ikorodu and Badagry Recreational Parks for public use all through the Easter period for funfair.
General Manager, Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency, LASPARK, Abimbola Jijoho-Ogun, at a press conference in Lagos said the parks had all necessary facilities obtainable in any standard parks across the state.
“In collaboration with our strategic partners, the parks will be open free of charge all through the Easter period with funfairs for children and adult to have a fun-filled Easter period,” she said.
According to her, the parks would be provided with adequate security as men of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, the police and Neighbourhood Watch officers would mount security at the parks.
She added that all government parks had parking spaces outside the perimeter fencing as the cars would be thoroughly screened for security purposes.
She also said the government was ready and willing to partner with private and business concerns to adopt and maintain open greenery to ensure that all supported the state’s dream of green environment.
Jijoho-Ogun charged all private park operators in the state to regulate their operations with LASPARK as the agency needed to certify that the parks met both the state and international standards.
