The Ondo State Signage and Advertisement Agency has begun a routine statewide enforcement exercise aimed at sanitizing the outdoor advertising landscape and ensuring full compliance with regulations guiding signage and advertisement across the state.
This was contained in a statement by Yòmí Oyékàn,
Senior Special Assistant on Signage and Advertisement, on Tuesday in Akure.
“The enforcement activity, which commenced today across major towns and highways, includes the removal of dilapidated advertisement structures, illegal campaign banners, unauthorized billboards, and other non-compliant advertising materials that pose safety risks and undermine the environmental aesthetics of our communities.
“This routine exercise forms part of the Agency’s ongoing efforts to maintain order within the outdoor advertising sector while promoting public safety and environmental responsibility. Dilapidated structures and illegally mounted materials not only constitute visual pollution but may also pose potential dangers to residents and road users.
“Advertisers, political stakeholders, and business owners are therefore advised to ensure that all signage and campaign materials are properly registered and installed in accordance with the guidelines of the Agency to avoid removal and other regulatory actions.
“The Ondo State Signage and Advertisement Agency remains committed to maintaining a clean, safe, and properly regulated advertising environment across Ondo State,” the statement read.
