They admonished the agency to collaborate with actors and practitioners in the advertising sector to further tapped into existing potentials abound in the sector while advocating the need to ensure sanity in the placement of billboard on highways within the State.

Responding, the General Manager,  Akin Bandele warned  that the agency would not hesitate to institute legal actions against any person/offender found pasting posters indiscriminately in the State.
