The Department of Development Control, Abuja Metropolitan
Management Council (AMMC) has warned residents of Federal Capital Territory
(FCT) who deface the city with posters, banners and billboards to disease from
it or be ready to face the penalties.
This warning was given by the deputy director
of Aesthetics and Amenities, Arc. Adamu Abuja in his office yesterday.
He said the pasting of posters, billboards
and banners indiscriminately is mostly caused by political & religious
bodies, and it has posed a great challenge to city management.
Arc Abuja said that removal of posters by the
Department has been on for long to the extent that a pressure machine has been
acquired to enhance the removal process.

He also explained that proposals have been
made on the need to penalize & punish defaulters who mount posters,
billboards & banners without approvals.
The deputy director however advised intending
advertisers to obtain approval from the Development Control Department or have their
billboards removed as well as stand the chance of being penalized when the law
takes effect.
