The La DadeKotopon Municipal Assembly (LaDMA), has taken its first action to remove flexis and boards whose permits are not fully paid for as well as boards that are not captured in their data.
The assembly embarked on an exercise on October 7th that led to the removal of a great number of flexis. The next stage of the exercise, according to the Municipal Coordinating Director, is to remove actual boards, especially boards that are not captured in their data or regularized. That exercise will begin by mid-November. In a recent outdoor audit conducted by AAG, managers of LaDMA’s outdoor space, over 60 boards were identified to be irregularly installed and a lot more boards are not captured in the authorized system of the assembly.
Another municipal assembly that has also planned flexi and boards removal exercise is the Ayawaso North Municipal Assembly (ANMA). By convention, billboard owners are expected to pay over 80% of their permit fees by the third quarter of the year.
