The Enugu State government has announced a ban on the unlawful pasting of posters on outdoor surfaces and spaces within the state.
This means that prior approval is now mandatory for posting or displaying posters in public or private areas.
According to the Enugu State Structures for Signages and Advertisement Agency (ENSSAA), failure to comply with this directive will attract a fine of up to N50 million. The agency emphasized that it would no longer tolerate the defacing of outdoor surfaces and spaces.
The ban is empowered by the ENSSAA Law, 2016, which regulates the posting and display of posters on outdoor surfaces and spaces. The law requires that all posters be approved by ENSSAA before being displayed.
This new directive applies to all individuals and organizations, including political parties, churches, schools, printers, advertisers, marketers, and producers.
Anyone found violating this directive will face the consequences, including the hefty fine.
