    …to open a new portal for registration

    By Olufemi Oni, Ilorin

    The Kwara State Taskforce on Billboards and Signages has announced a partial easing of restrictions on outdoor advertising, warning, however, that the ban on erection of new billboards is still in force.

    This was contained in a statement issued from the office of the Chairman, State Taskforce Committee on Illegal Billboards and Signages and Commissioner for Communications, Hon. Bolanle Olukoju, on Monday in Ilorin, the State capital.

    “We have modified our earlier directive, permitting advertising practitioners to change flex/banners on existing approved billboard structures and continue maintenance of current installations.

    “However, the ban on erecting new billboards and signages remains in full force across the state, as violators will face severe penalties, and possibly legal prosecution,” the statement added.

    The statement also disclosed that “a digital registration portal for outdoor advertising will be launched soon, to streamline permit applications and improve compliance monitoring.”

    It, however, applauded practitioners for their understanding during the ongoing urban renewal exercise.

    “We acknowledge your cooperation in maintaining Kwara’s aesthetic standards. This measured adjustment demonstrates government’s willingness to balance regulation with business continuity,” the statement added.
