Kogi state government has issued a campaign, billboards and poster rates for all the political offices ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The payment of fees followed the passage of the Kogi State Signage Agency Establishment Bill into law by the House of Assembly.   

Presidential candidates in the election are to pay N10 million to paste posters or erect billboards in Kogi State.

Similarly, governorship candidates in the state will pay N5 million while senatorial and House of Representatives candidates are to pay N2 million and N1 million respectively.

Those seeking House of Assembly and council chairmanship seats are to pay N500,000.

According to LEADERSHIP, The House under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Matthew Kolawole, after adopting the report of the Joint Committee on Commerce, Judiciary and Justice, said the bill seeks to regulate outdoor display of signage and advertisements in the state adding that it would also curb indiscriminate pasting of posters on sidewalks, bridges and public buildings which defaces the state.

The bill which seeks the establishment of a signage agency will ensure that no one or organization paste or erect billboards at undesignated places.
