The law also aims at curbing the indiscriminate pasting of posters on side walks, walls, bridges and public buildings in the state.
The law also requires all governorship candidates to pay N5 million, senatorial candidates to pay N2 million and House of Representatives’ candidates to pay N1 million.
The law also stipulates that House of Assembly and council chairmanship candidates are to pay N500, 000 each.
Consequently, the law provides for the establishment of a signage agency saddled with regulatory functions.
