The Adamawa State Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources has announced an immediate ban on the indiscriminate posting of posters, stickers, and banners on government buildings and public structures across the state.
In a statement issued to journalists, the Ministry raised concerns over the rising proliferation of campaign, commercial, and promotional materials on public facilities, including streetlight poles, roundabouts, signboards, and other government-owned assets.
It noted that the practice violates existing environmental sanitation regulations and contributes to the defacement of public infrastructure, undermining ongoing efforts to keep the state capital and its environs clean and orderly.
The Ministry cautioned political groups, religious organisations, business operators, and the public to comply with the directive, adding that offenders will face strict enforcement actions.

“Anyone found violating this directive will be prosecuted, and the cost of removing such illegal materials will be borne by the offenders, in line with the Adamawa State Environmental Protection and Sanitation Laws,” the statement said.
Reiterating its commitment to maintaining a clean and sustainable environment, the Ministry urged residents to support government efforts to protect the state’s aesthetic appeal and overall public image.
