The Managing Director of Anambra Signage and Advertisement Agency, ANSAA, Mr Tony Ujubonwu, has called on Ndi Anambra to support the efforts of the Soludo administration in creating a conducive environment for enhanced business transactions across Anambra State.

 

Speaking on ABS Radio and Television Programme in Awka, Mr Ujubonwu, who described Professor Chukwuma Soludo as a Governor with the interest of the people at heart, charged the citizenry to always be alive to their responsibilities.

 

According to the ANSAA boss, the essence of establishing the Anambra Signage and Advertisement Agency is part of the efforts of the state government to help business executives across the state showcase and market their products for robust businesses.

 

He regretted the lukewarm attitude of some business executives in doing the needful, especially in the area of payment of stipulated token fee for the mounting of bill boards, sign posts and posters, which he described as one of the challenges facing the government agency, and called on such people to have a rethink.

 

Mr. Ujubonwu described the staff of the Anambra State Signage and Advertisement Agency as well-trained personnel, but expressed regret that some impostors are masquerading as staff of the agency to harass motorists, particularly on Saturdays, and demand ANSAA ticket permits.

 

He advised the public to resist such attempts, as genuine ANSAA officials do not operate on weekends.

 

Mr Ujubonwu charged the people to abstain from using posters to deface the aesthetics of Anambra State, reminding them of the need to always get approval from the agency before pasting posters, bill boards and sign posts to avoid to wrath of the law.

 

The ANSAA boss used the opportunity to inform the public that the money they are paying for Signage is part of funds used by the government to develop the state, and enjoined all Signage owners to pay up as soon as they get demand notices and avoid having to be summoned to court, saying that it costs the signage owners more; and costs the state and ANSAA much more to take good citizens to court.
