Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolememen

By Benneth Oghifo


The federal government has suspended all approvals for the use of its right of way for advertisements in Lagos State.

The Federal Controller of Works in the state, Mr. Godwin Eke, said the suspension was directed by the Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolememen.

The controller said the regulation would be effected nationwide in due course.
Eke said advertisers had been served notices and given seven days to comply by removing all advertisements in the government’s rights of way.

``We have written letters to advertising agencies to remove all advertising hoardings on all federal roads in the state within seven days, effective from January 23.

“The suspension affects approvals on use of rights of way, setbacks, clover leaves, loops, among others on all federal roads and setbacks.

“The aim of serving the advertising companies notices is to reclaim our rights of way and rebrand them,” he said.

Eke said the government observed that some structures standing on its rights of way were not properly done.

“We do not want advertisement billboards that will collapse like the one that collapsed near Third Mainland Bridge in 2014.

“We want to review everything,” he added.

I think the recent clampdown on PDP campaign adverts in Lagos by the Lagos state authorities may have led to this

I WARNED APC AND FASHOLA NOT TO START THIS FIGHT BUT THEY WOULDNT LISTEN.

POWER PASS POWER.

PDP is now drowning fast...time for Lagos to retailiate .

I am sure that Sure-P employees would be the task force for this action.

Mr. President,your flexing of powers to make Buhari not to be elected president next month has failed.

All this PDP desperation will end by next month......many of them will run out of this country.

These PDP desperadoes have started creating parallel governments in APC states.

The same federal roads that the Lagos State Government rehabilitated when the FG failed to rehabilitate them?

Insha Allah..we will all be here.

APC people are very foolish.
They have been collecting revenue from billboards placed on another person's property all this years.
but greed will not let them see sense.
instead, they want to eat everything.
as usual.

see where their greed has brought them.

PDP panic mode activated. Nigerians will vote for Change. Sai Buhari

Just incase!

Lolz . . . The games are on . . . .
