Kwara Revokes Licences, Orders Removal Of Unauthorised Billboards, Signages

Kwara State government has announced the revocation of year 2024 signage and billboard licences across the state.

The secretary of the state Task Force Committee on Illegal billboards and signages, Ibrahim Garba, in a statement on Sunday, warned that “identifications re ongoing and removal enforcement will commence, beginning from this week.”

Garba stated that the revocation order was 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 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.

“No new registrations or renewals of signages and billboard licenses will be processed until further notice. This temporary measure will allow the state to finalise a new regulatory framework for outdoor advertising,” Garba said.
