The Anambra State Signage and Advertisement Agency (ANSAA) has placed a levy of N50 million(fifty million Naira only) as mandatory advertising campaign mandatory permit fee for each political party contesting the November 8, 2025 Governorship election.
At the press briefing held at the agency’s headquarters in Awka, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Tony Odili Ujubuonu stated that the campaign permit allows political parties the right to deploy their campaign materials and activities; using posters, public address systems, branded vehicles, banners, fliers, T-shirts, caps, rallies among others across the cities, villages and communities in the 21 Local Government Areas (LGA) of the State.
Ujubuonu also explained that all campaign materials intended for outdoor display by political parties and candidates, advertising agencies and advertising practitioners are expected to have been vetted by the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria, before being posted.
He called on all the political parties, their supporters and the general public to always put other users of the advertising and visual promotion space in the State, into consideration, appealing to them to refrain from defacing the campaign materials of opponents as such actions are unacceptable and also goes contrary to the principles of fair democratic engagement.
The ANSAA MD/CEO as well expressed his appreciation to all political parties for the peaceful conduct of their primary elections and for maintaining decorum across the State, praying for the peaceful and orderly approach to continue into the campaign season for the forth coming election.
Ujubuonu expressed his thanks to Ndi Anambra and government of Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo for their great support to the agency; saying that it is “to make the State a prosperous, lively and digitally driven homeland.”
He also appreciated the media, saying: “We do not take this support for granted and therefore, we welcome you not just as a partner but co-travelers in the journey of building a better Anambra and greater Nigeria.”
