Following the  earlier notification on the suspension of all billboard licenses in the state, the Kwara State Government hereby inform the public of the immediate revocation of year 2024 signage and billboard licenses  across the state, even as it warns that, identifications are ongoing and enforcement will commence, this week.  

This was contained in a statement released today from the office of the Chairman, Kwara State Taskforce Committee on Illegal Billboards and Signages and Commissioner for Communications, Hon. Bolanle Olukoju.  

The statement also stated further that, the revocation was necessary, to facilitate the removal of all unauthorized and improperly erected billboards, posters and light pole banners across Ilorin metropolis and other urban centres.  

It explained that the initiative aligns with the Urban Renewal Programme of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq-led administration, aimed at transforming Kwara into a modern and visually appealing state.  

According to the statement, no new registrations or renewals of signages and billboard licenses will be processed until further notice.  

"This temporary measure will allow the state to finalize a new regulatory framework for outdoor advertising, the statement added."  

It thereafter reiterated further that, identifications of billboards are already ongoing, therefore called on owners of unidentified boards across the entire state, to remove them with immediate effect, as Government's Taskforce is currently identifying non compliant structures adding that, enforcement will commence this week.
