Anambra State Signage and Advertisement Agency, ANSAA, Enforcement Team has removed posters and billboards, indiscriminately pasted at different locations across the state.
The agency, which also pulled down unpaid bill boards, said that the defaulters had been served demand notices which they failed to comply with.
However, the ultimatum given to political parties, business owners, churches among others to pay their ANSAA levies or mount their billboards appropriately ended on December five without compliance.
Places visited included Kwata Flyover axis of the Enugu-Onitsha Express Way, Awka, Government House, Afor-Igwe Umudioka, Nimo, and Abagana Communities.
Addressing newsmen after the exercise, the leader of the team, Mr. Chijioke Agbanyim said that the law establishing the Signage Act 2010, made it mandatory for any person wishing to place signage and advertisement materials anywhere in the state to get written approval from the agency and follow lay down processes.
Mr. Agbanyim made it clear that the agency expects maximum cooperation from individuals in the registration of their billboards and payment of campaign posters, and advised those that are yet to pay to comply with the law to avoid removal of their billboards.
The Anambra State Signage & Advertisement Agency controls outdoor structures for signage and advertisements as well as structure location, ownership and operations.
