The Lagos State Signage and Advertising
Agency (LASAA ) has ordered the
Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria
(TAN ) and its affiliates to remove illegally
deployed campaign adverts of President
Goodluck Jonathan in the state .
LASAA ’ s Managing Director George Noah
told reporters yesterday in Lagos that two
outdoor agencies had their contracts worth
N 350 million terminated due to the flagrant
act by supporters of the Peoples
Democratic Party ( PDP ).
Noah named the two agencies as Touch
Point Nigeria Limited and Clearedge Limited,
adding that two advertisers- a Chinese
Telecoms Firm and Globacom- have
terminated their contracts with the outdoor
companies , following the parallel and illegal
deployment of the President ’ s campaign
advert.
He said the agency was constrained by the
developments in the electioneering
campaign “ to bring to the fore impunity and
illegality that pose immeasurable and long
term damage to those who erect, operate
and maintain billboards in the state ” .
Noah said as a regulatory body, LASAA was
willing to give approval to any party that
applied to use any of the authorised places,
adding that rather than follow due process ,
PDP and its supporters engage in unlawful
acts of destroying other existing adverts
paid for on the streets poles to paste that of
President Jonathan and other candidates.
Noah stressed that the development was
capable of destroying the outdoor industry ,
particularly at this time of severe
competition from TV , radio and social
media .
“ This illegal and brazen act by agents of the
PDP is unjust , inconsiderate and
unacceptable, ” Noah said , stressing that if
not checked it could lead to the lay off of
workers and loss of revenues by
stakeholders in the sector .
Noah said the PDP had deployed policemen
in areas where this illegality was going on ,
adding that the agencies would remove
such campaign materials in line with the
enabling law setting up LASAA .
He said the fact that the Advertising
Practitioners Council of Nigeria ( APCON)
was also putting ‘ X ’ signs on the campaign
materials further confirmed that the advert
materials were deployed without complying
with the regulatory standard .
“ What they have done now is to withdraw
policemen who help us do our job, and
using the same police to deploy the
campaign materials in unauthorised
locations ” .
“ They are coming to Lagos to disrupt the
outdoor business worth about N 50billion
and which employs about 100 , 000 people .
They have transferred all sorts of people to
Lagos State to do their dirty jobs . It is one
illegality gone too far. ”
