Accra Metropolitan Assembly lifts ban on Out of Home Advertising

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly, AMA, has indicated that it has lifted the ban that was placed on Out of Home Advertising with effect from January 22, 2018.

It noted that advertisers can now purchase an allocation form for processing as per the new 2018 Smart Procedures and Standards Policy Framework.

In a press release signed by the Coordinating Director, Sam Ayeh Datey, on behalf of the Metropolitan Chief Eecutive, all individuals, companies, and organizations in the Out of Home Industry should reapply for renewal permit for the year.

The AMA said, it considers all existing Out of Home Advertising Infrastructure Signage within its jurisdiction authorize until such re-applications are done. It noted that failure to comply with the directive would compel the Assembly to take actions against the advertisers.

It also entreated all to join hands to help AMA in its quest to beautify the city.
