Kwara government revokes 2024 billboard licences
The Kwara government has announced the immediate revocation of 2024 signage and billboard licences across the state.
This is contained in a statement signed by Ibrahim Garba, the secretary, task force committee on illegal billboards and signage in Kwara on Sunday.
Mr Garba said the announcement followed an earlier notification on the suspension of all billboard licences in the state.
He said that identifications were ongoing while removal enforcement would commence on March 17.
“The revocation is necessary to facilitate the removal of all unauthorised and improperly erected billboards, posters and light pole banners across Ilorin metropolis and other urban centres,” he said.
Mr Garba explained that the initiative aligned with the urban renewal programme of Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq-led administration, aimed at transforming Kwara into a modern and visually appealing state.
He said that no new registration or renewal of signage and billboard licences would be processed until further notice.
“This temporary measure will allow the state to finalise a new regulatory framework for outdoor advertising.
“The identifications of billboards are ongoing; we therefore call on owners of unidentified boards across the state to remove them with immediate effect.
“Government’s taskforce is currently identifying non compliant structures, and enforcement will commence next week,” Mr Garba said.
