The Advertising Association of Ghana (AAG) is collaborating with the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) to pull down billboards mounted in Accra without authorisation.
The exercise is to make lawfully placed advertising boards more visible and to ensure sanity along the streets.
The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr Henry Quartey, made this known last Wednesday when the association presented to him a 2018 audit report on billboards in Accra.
The report touched on the influx of unauthorised billboards scattered across streets in Accra, and considered to be endangering lives and creating clutter.

The Daily Graphic reported recently that streets in Accra were awash with billboards and other outdoor advertisements, endangering lives and creating clutter along the roads, including some ceremonial streets.
