KWASA General Manager, Alhaji Ahmed Olufadi, disclosed this in llorin
According to Olufadi most billboards and signposts were erected indiscriminately without due process especially in the state capital.
“Some of the billboards constitute nuisance to motorists and pedestrians especially those on the dual carriageway in some parts of the metropolis,’’ he said.
He said some of the billboards were also erected under power line which constitute danger especially during rainy season.
“The removal of billboards and signposts illegally erected will be a continuous exercise by the agency.
“This is aimed at ensuring sanity and due process,” Olufadi said.
He advised politicians no matter how highly placed in the society to abide by laid down rules.
“Politicians should ensure payment of approved fees before erecting campaign billboards and signposts,” he said.
Olufadi also warned those whose billboards and signposts were removed not to replace them without consulting the agency.
