Lagos State Signage and Advertisement
Agency (LASAA) is set to meet with political
parties to spell out modalities guiding the use
of campaign posters and banners for the
forthcoming general elections.
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.
