The Edo State Signage and Advertising Agency, EDSAA, has announced a mandatory registration of all billboards and outdoor advertising structures in the state as part of an ongoing Computerization and Data Harmonization Exercise.
In a Public Service Announcement signed by the Managing Director/CEO, Hon. Patrick Agunede, EDSAA said the exercise is to create a comprehensive database of all advertising structures for proper planning, regulation, and revenue management in line with Governor Monday Okpebholo’s SHINE Agenda.
According to the agency, the directive affects the General Public, Billboard Owners, Advertising Practitioners, and Schools/Organizations that own billboards across Edo State.
KEY DIRECTIVES:
- 14-DAY REGISTRATION WINDOW: All Billboard Owners and Practitioners are to register their structures with EDSAA within 14 days from the date of the announcement.
- Purpose: The registration will help the agency determine the total number of billboards in Edo State for effective regulation.
- Sanctions: Any billboard owner or advertising practitioner who fails to comply shall be deemed to be operating illegally. Such unregistered billboards will be removed by the Agency without further notice, and defaulters will face appropriate sanctions as provided by law.
EDSAA advised all concerned persons to visit the Edo State Signage and Advertising Agency Head Office at 6th Floor, Block A, Palm House, Sapele Road, Benin City or any of its Zonal Offices for registration and further inquiries.
_“Please be guided accordingly,”_ the statement concluded.
The Agency reaffirmed its commitment to sanitizing the outdoor advertising space, ensuring safety, and improving the aesthetics of Edo State.
