LG polls: We’ll remove unauthorised campaign posters, billboards, KWASAA tells politicians
In the build-up to the September 21 local government elections, the Kwara State Signage and Advertisement Agency (KWASAA) has warned politicians against the indiscriminate erection of boards and posters.
Ismail Asukuti, the General Manager of KWASAA, while answering questions on a Radio Kwara 99.1 FM station’s personalities interview programme titled “Gbagede oro”, said politicians should consult the agency before erecting their billboards, reiterating the need for politicians and the general public to desist from placing posters on government structures. He warned that the agency will continue to remove unauthorised posters and billboards.
Asukuti, while commending Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for giving the agency a free hand to operate, assured politicians of fairness in allocating space to paste their posters and billboards.
The General Manager also disclosed that the agency has provided some boards at strategic places free of charge for public use. The areas include Unity, post-office and Saint Anthony’s Secondary School, Ilorin, among other places in the metropolis.
