There have been rumours that the agency is rejecting adverts of some political parties and there is an audio message that is circulating on Twitter that makes the same claim.


LASAA @lasaaonline

Notice to the Public on Circulating Audio Message

Following our review of the audio in circulation which sounded staged, ordinarily, LASAA will not respond to such petty conversation but it is important to reassure our stakeholders and members of the general public that we are an institution governed by rules and professional standards of practice.

While we understand this is a political season and Fifth Columnist will attempt to portray us in a bad light for their own personal gain, we will not rest on our oars to speak the truth always and discharge our functions with integrity and absolute respect for statutory laws and ethics.

We wish to vehemently debunk the contents of the audio recording against our Agency that is in circulation as a blatant lie and a staged conversation.

As citizens, we must continue to act responsibly and disassociate ourselves from elements disguising as purveyors of truth on social media platforms.

It is important to remind the general public that, Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON) is the body saddled with the responsibility to regulate advertising contents, and, as a result can stop any unethical, obscene advertisement, campaign, politics and so on from being displayed, not LASAA.

Our Agency does not interfere in the business of outdoor advertising agencies in any way. It is, therefore, a common practice in the industry that any contract to display political campaigns is at the discretion of the outdoor advertisement agency that owns the billboard structure and the advertiser.

For the purpose of clarity, this is the season for more sales within the industry and it is the income made by the owners, their financial obligation to LASAA will be settled.

We only issue permit on regulated billboard structures and not the advertisements displayed on them. Anyone with proof to show that we gave such instruction in the audio should bring it to our attention immediately.

Members of the public are advised to kindly, disregard the audio in circulation and be watchful of fake news.

Thank you.

Lagos state government should be circumspect and follow the due process.

This is just a raw deal.

But Keyamo has said they are the ones running Lagos. So why the denials?

APC shouldn't even be bothered, no matter what they do, millions of Nigerians will vote them., Nigerians voted them in 2019, those Nigerians are still alive, well some of them.

Wouldn't expect anything different

LOL...These people and their self-deceit.

What LASSA needs to do in Lagos is to copy what Soludo did in Anambra, where each presidential candidate is billed N10-million naira to place campaign posters anywhere in the state. I recall that the policy was greeted with cheers on this forum after it was announced.

In the case of Lagos, the state government should charge political parties nothing less than N50m, considering how much political activity is being anticipated in the state. If Soludo can do it in Anambra, Sanwo-Olu can also do it in Lagos. I welcome such policy wholeheartedly.

Krublog:
Denials and counter denials

Asin Nigeria ehhn

Debunk and counter debunk

Lagos, and Yorubas, need to stop explaining themselves to these bigoted Obidients.
There is NOTHING we do that would be acceptable.
Every action is termed an attack.
That's how people with a victim mentality operate.
Ignore them.

They will never agree.
I saw a video of Tinubu's wife berating someone because he's from the South East.

We don hear.

IPOB and fake news they use in drawing attention to themselves. Ojukwu destroyed the psyche of these people with propaganda. Siege mentality makes their followers to believe all kind of lies.

I saw a video of a policewoman killed and eaten in Imo because she was an officer of the Nigerian Police.
I saw a video of a woman and her kids murdered in Anambra because they were northerners.

We know

They will always deny it

Better oo
Cos e go choke

Naturally, LASAA will not entertain ad request from political parties until it is time to do so, as stipulated in INEC laws.

Make una calm down, abeg!

Ipobi urchins and fake news

An agency that is controlled by Seyi Tinubu? What do you expect?

Ok
