Kwara State Government has revoked with immediate effect year 2024 signage and billboard licenses across the state.

The government warned that removal enforcement will commence next week.

This was contained in a statement released on Sunday from the office of the Chairman, Kwara State Taskforce Committee on Illegal Billboards and Signages and Commissioner for Communications, Bolanle Olukoju.

The statement noted that the revocation was necessary, to facilitate the removal of all unauthorized and improperly erected billboards, posters and light pole banners across Ilorin metropolis and other urban centres in the state.

It explained that the initiative aligns with the Urban Renewal Programme of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq-led administration, aimed at transforming Kwara into a modern and visually appealing state.

According to the statement, no new registrations or renewals of signages and billboard licenses will be processed until further notice.

“This temporary measure will allow the state to finalize a new regulatory framework for outdoor advertising,” the statement added.

It reiterated further that identifications of billboards are already ongoing and called on owners of unidentified boards across the state to remove them with immediate effect, as the government’s taskforce is currently identifying non-compliant structures with enforcement commencing next week.
