A New Dawn for Outdoor Advertising: Taskforce Lifts Restrictions
...to open a new portal for registration
Following compliance with enforcement, the Kwara State Taskforce on Billboards and Signages hereby informs the public of the partial easing of restrictions on outdoor advertising, while the ban on new billboard installations continues.
This was contained in a statement issued from the office of the Chairman, State Taskforce Committee on Illegal Billboards and Signages Hon. Bolanle Olukoju today, at the ministry Headquarters, Ahmadu Bello Way, GRA, Ilorin, the state capital.
The statement read in part: " We have modified our earlier directive, permitting advertising practitioners to change flex/banners on existing approved billboard structures and continue maintenance of current installations.
"However, the ban on erecting new billboards and signages remains in full force across the state, as violators will face severe penalties, and possibly legal prosecution," it added.
The statement also disclosed, "a digital registration portal for outdoor advertising will be launched soon, to streamline permit applications and improve compliance monitoring."
It however applauded the practitioners for their understanding during the ongoing urban renewal exercise.
"We acknowledge your cooperation in maintaining Kwara's aesthetic standards. This measured adjustment demonstrates government's willingness to balance regulation with business continuity." It concluded.
