In 2006, the Lagos state government enacted the Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA) Law. This law was designed to prevent and punish the act of defacing street surfaces by residents. In order words, it is a crime to deface street surfaces with posters or any promotional material in Lagos state. Today, tragically, road medians, bus stop shelters, street walls, junctions, etc., are literally littered with different political campaign posters. Each one attempts to outdo each other for visibility. The offence of posting posters on street surfaces contravened Section 168 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015 (Revised). The section prescribes a six months imprisonment or a fine of N90, 000 for offenders. At the time, it was almost impossible to see a street or road in Lagos without an eyesore of a jumble of posters, or other advertising signs. By law, even when the fines are paid, the offender loses the privilege to contest for a political positions due to their status as an ex-convict, not until after 10 years, when the conviction no longer counts. The enforcement of this law is the function of the Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA). LASAA spends millions of naira on advocacy meant to dissuade residents from posting posters indiscriminately. Apparently, our politicians are above that law.

Just like the youths that they employ to deface public properties, our politicians are daft. It baffles me that most of these politicians grew up abroad where things like these are frowned at, but since Nigera is a lawless country where anything goes, they encourage the youths to flout the laws. When are we going to reach the level where we would stop defacing facilities rather than distribute handbills, flyers, and paying for our publicity on electronic billboards, or even construct concrete boards (at designated areas)where all notice and bills can be allowed to be pasted under regulations. Our environment and ambience of our cities matter! 2 Likes |

Oga op, we always enjoy your post about auto. Don't put mouth in politics, if they do not paste the posters on the wall, should they fly it on air, moreover election is around the corner. Or are you saying other country don't use campaign poster? |
