I would like to have people who have ideas of how much billboard adverts cost either in Lagos or Ogun state.Pls, give all details and any one I could contact.THANK YOU!

it depends on what kind of billboard you want.
standard unipole in lagos is about N9.53m , 96 sheet 4m, rooftop 5m/ bridge panel 7m,etc per face.
depending on what you want and the quality of service.

9 million naira just to put up a billboard!!! What?!!

That's insane

What's insane there? 9 million Naira not USD?

probably seun and ztyle have forgotten the amount they will make putting such advert for million eyes to see!

9 million naira! for how many years?2, 3, 4, ?

Am not trying to be controversial, but if it was less than 1million, dont you think there would be more than 1,000 naija guys that can afford to propose comfortably to their wives with a billboard.
Its a control measure as well.

@all
I think babaogun has a valid point there. I believe that if it is cheap, too many people will want to advertise all sort of things. The big shots won't allow that. (for example, I would have save enough to advertise my new blog there instead of relying on Seun's benevolence via Nairaland). Just kidding

Hi all,

Pls while we are at it, can someone please tell me the the cost of a building billboard i.e. advert on the side of a tall building in Abuja/Lagos

Maybe he meant 9million Ghanaian Cedis
because uv gotta be kidding me with that

[size=13pt]You sound logical enough, I think I can buy that. . . but 9 million . .hmmm [/size]

I said N9m for a unipole spectacular and most of you thing am lying.
well am in the industry and i know what am saying.
you can get a board for N430,000 per year depending on the size.
Unipole is the biggest billboard you will see outside.Before now unipole is about 2.5M to 5m in lagos
depending on the quality of board. But since LASAA steoed in, it has increase to about (9M)
for your information 4m of that money goes to lasaa. while 5m is for the agency.

sorry, i mean think not thing*

Well if you need a quality and prefessional design, we can handle that for your billboard advert

9 million Ghanaian Cedis is 9million USD.1cedi=1USD

why do you think it's outrageous to put up a billboard for 9.53m.You have to be in it to know what goes on in putting up a billboard. There are other options such as the 48 sheet,lamp post and rooftop. "If you get the money you pick your choice". The local govt don't make it any easier than it gets.

9 milliion naira?? what the heck, dats like someones salary for a year! no be only bill-board, just use cardboard, loads of em.

Our people starve while this government get richer. We should rise up now and stop this. We can all take over this country and hang Umaru and Goodluck Jonathan. Who's with me lets meet up and do it!

its soo expensive because nigerian businesses have not created alternatives, theres a niche in the market right there,im sure some of you guys in the business can find a cheaper alternative that will reach a lot of nigerians cheaper and make your millions

Even if it cost one naira per billboard nigerian men are not romantic like that.

I think most of the people making post are not familiar with outdoor advertising. I work in an ad agency n i can tell u N9 million isn't to much for a billboard. I've seen clients pay all sorts for billboards depending on the site and location (I'm talkin abt N90 million for one billboard).

showbobo:

9 million Ghanaian Cedis is 9million USD.1cedi=1USD

1 US Dollar = 10,099.0 Ghanaian Cedi

Stop misleading people, if you dont know say you dont know. DAMM

omo it is a lie o,

1 cedi = 0.98 USD

now i can see that most of the people we have here are just normal working class people(salary earner), we need real investors and business men to tell people whatz going on, How can someone complain of 9million naira for an advert.

9 million is too cheap for a standard billboard advert, some companies budgeted more than 600million naira for advert in 1 year,

The last beach party that was organised at lekki cost over 500 million naira, so tell me, that is just a one day show,


you better shine your eyes and see where money lies,

@ Hilli666 ,
I no know where Kizzy-jibz dey get im information from. Abi the guy don shayo before im begin pound away at the keyboard. Current exchange rate between US dollar and Cedi is

N9,500000m = £40,659.760600

with exchange rate of 1 GB pound = N233


The world busiest tourist location in London will cost you just from £600 for 2 to 3 years.

£38K will probably last for 100 years.

Nigerian, you people are killing your future entrepreneurs and business minded individual. A bustling city or country must not depend on government to provide public services. Divide the distribution into three parts.

1. The local council
2. Private sector
3. Public sector (The government)

The government should help the private sector by subsidizing service like Billboard advert.

N9.5M, what a chick

tell them oooo!!!!make dem hear.when some countries are looking for ways to reduce the cost of doing business we are justifying an increase here in naija.

@sbucareer,


Where in London is £600 to openly advertise?

If you're talking about central london you're looking at a figure of £20, 000/pw look up clear channel and jcdecaux these companies own most of the prime located billboards in london and the UK
