By Tunji Adesola 

Ekiti State Signage and Advertisement, the agency saddled with the regulation of outdoor displays, has announced the release of the 2023 Mobile Advert Stickers for all commercial and branded vehicles, in line with extant laws and regulations guiding the agency's operations. 

While explaining this in Ado Ekiti, the Chairman of Ekiti State Internal Revenue Services, Mr. Olaniran Olatona explained that the new and improved mobile advert stickers would be effective from 1st of January, 2023.

Olatona reiterated that the sticker would be effective for a period of one year and would be applicable as signage fee on commercial and branded automobiles  in all state and acceptable in the states of the federation.

According to  Olatona, the usage of mobile advert stickers would curb revenue linkages in the state, since the quick response (QR) codes embedded in the stickers would enhance individual identity. The stickers being verifiable would also restrict duplication of stickers by unauthorized revenue collectors.

Olatona said that Governor Biodun Oyebanji's administration has provided an enabling environment for Outdoor Advertising Practitioners to thrive in Ekiti State. In the same manner, the  release of mobile Advert Stickers  for commercial and branded vehicles will achieve better revenue generation for EKSAA. 

He said that the stickers would be placed at strategic locations on  vehicles for ease of access, to forestall unwarranted embarrassment of motorists on the road  during enforcement.

EKIRS boss also emphasized that the state government would not condone revenue loss of any kind and he echoed that the government is proactive on boosting the state revenue from all spheres to facilitate socio- economic development of the state.

He stressed that the unveiling of the 2023 Mobile Advert Sticker would be administered on commercial, corporate and private  branded vehicles. He then added that there should be sustainable synergy between the government approved  consultant and EKSAA to ensure smooth sales of the stickers to the public. 

He also encouraged all stakeholders on revenue generating in the state to collaborate with the Agency for payment of  authorized fees on all outdoor displays, by extension, they should ensure that all statutory taxes be made to the State Internal Revenue Services.
