50 illegal campaign billboards were being removed in Kwara state by Agencies

The Kwara State Signage and Advertisement Agency (KWASA) yesterday said it had removed over 50 campaign billboards across the state for non-compliance with laid down rules.

KWASA General Manager Ahmed Olufadi disclosed to our our correspondent, saying most billboards and signposts were erected indiscriminately, especially in the state capital.

“Some of the billboards constitute nuisance to motorists and pedestrians especially those on the dual carriageway in some parts of the metropolis,’’ he said.

“Politicians should ensure payment of approved fees before erecting campaign billboards and signposts,” he said.

Olufadi also warned those whose billboards and signposts were removed not to replace them without consulting the agency.
