The Agency’s Managing Director, Mr George Noah, said this
has become necessary to checkmate indiscriminate use of campaign posters and
banners in Lagos State.
Noah added that
the parley would seek to ensure that the use of campaign posters and banners is
done with proper consideration for the environment under enabling laws.
Throwing light on challenges being faced by the agency’s
enforcement team, in its bid to rid Lagos of the visual blights posed by
indiscriminate use outdoor political campaign materials, Noah lamented: “Our
officials are being attacked and harassed daily whenever they set out to
discharge their statutory duties across the state. Despite repeated appeals and
warnings we have noticed an increasing trend in this ignoble act. This has to
stop.”
He added: “We wish to
restate our commitment to our earlier directive to the effect that posters will
not be allowed within unauthorized places. These are: high streets, highways,
major roads, loops bridges, pillars and triangulars.
