The Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolememen has suspended all approvals for the use of its right of way for advertisements in Lagos State, according to the Federal Controller of Works in the state, Mr. Godwin Eke who said he's acting on the directives of the minister. He added that the regulation would be affected nationwide in due course.
``We have written letters to advertising agencies to remove all advertising hoardings on all federal roads in the state within seven days, effective from January 23.
“The suspension affects approvals on use of rights of way, setbacks, clover leaves, loops, among others on all federal roads and setbacks.
“The aim of serving the advertising companies notices is to reclaim our rights of way and rebrand them,” he said.
“We do not want advertisement billboards that will collapse like the one that collapsed near Third Mainland Bridge in 2014.
“We want to review everything,” he added.
