…  That billboard, posters, and all other campaign Materials, shirts, branded vehicles, caps, etc. will no longer be erected, pasted, or put to use without permission and clearance from the Agency.

The Kogi State Signage and Advertisement Agency in its bid to sanitize public space in the State and stop it from being defaced with unnecessary bills, issued a public service announcement on the 29th of March, 2023, intimating the general public that billboards, posters, and all other campaign Materials, shirts, branded vehicles, caps, etc. will no longer be erected, pasted or put to use without permission and clearance from the Agency.

Agency after the announcement carried out a sanitization exercise at the Ganaja flyover, which had over time been completely overtaken by posters of gubernatorial aspirants and other unapproved publicity materials.

The Agency has noticed with dismay that despite the announcement, the actions of some of the aspirants in the forthcoming Gubernatorial primaries constitute an offense against the Law backing the Agency. Section 36(1) of the Kogi State Signage and Advertisement Agency Law, 2022 provides that:
  Without prejudice to any existing Law, a person shall not-

1. Paste any handbill, poster, banner, notice, sign, or advertisement on side-walks, trees, bridges, abutments, public dustbin hydrants, highways, or on any street without the permission of the Agency;

In line with the above-stated Law, the Agency demands that all aspirants in the forthcoming primaries follow the laid down procedures in the erection and display of billboards, posters, flyers, branded vehicles, tee-shirt, caps, etc.


Failure to comply with this directive, the Agency as empowered by its Law will commence the removal of all publicity materials in public spaces from the 11th day of April 2022. All aspirants should note that legal action will be employed against all violators.

The General Manager of the Agency, Hon. Richard Osaseyi urges all citizens of the State to continue to be Law abiding and aim to beautify our dear State.
