Kogi State Signage and Advertisement Agency (KOSSAA) has issued strong warning to business owners in the state against against erecting or displaying billboards without permission.
In a statement issued on Friday, the General Manager of KOSSAA, Osaseyi Richard, said the Agency will remove all unauthorized billboards and will impose penalties on owners who fail to comply with the Agency’s rules and regulations.
KOSSAA urged business owners to be wary of fraudulent individuals or entities claiming to collect payments for signage advertisements and mobile advertising.
“All payment in this regard should only be made to KOSSAA.
“The agency has guidelines for political parties and aspirants, requiring them to obtain permission before erecting or displaying campaign materials. Failure to comply will result in the removal of the billboards/ banners and legal action will be taken against anyone that violated these guidelines,” he said.
Osaseyi advised all business owners and private individuals to update their billboards on or before 30th of October 2025 as the agency will embark on a massive raid to remove all illegal billboards after the expiration date.
He tasked residents to report unauthorized billboards or suspicious activities to Kogi State Signage and Advertisement Agency (KOSSAA).
