“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.”

“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,” Mr. Eke is quoted as saying by Thisday live.
