The Enugu State Government has prohibited the unauthorized pasting of posters on outdoor surfaces and public spaces, warning that violators will face fines of up to N50 million.
The announcement was made on Thursday by the General Manager of the Enugu State Structures for Signages and Advertisement Agency (ENSSAA), Frank Aninwike.
He emphasized that no individual or organization—including political parties, churches, schools, advertisers, and marketers—should paste posters on buildings, walls, highways, or any public or private property without prior written approval from the agency.
According to Aninwike, this directive is in line with Sections 4(1)(g), 33, and 34(4,9) of the ENSSAA Law, 2016, which grants the agency authority to regulate and control outdoor advertisements and signage placement in the state.
“Any poster or advertisement displayed without ENSSAA’s approval will attract a fine of up to N50 million,” he stated.
The agency urged compliance with the directive, stressing that it would no longer tolerate the indiscriminate defacement of the state’s public spaces.
