The Jos Metropolitan Development Board has warned politicians and political parties in Plateau State against pasting campaign posters on public facilities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The General Manager of the board, Hart Bankat, issued the warning in a statement released in Jos on Saturday.
Bankat said the directive was in line with Executive Order 003 of 2024, which regulates physical development and vehicular traffic in the state.
He warned that anyone who violated the directive would face sanctions under the law, including a N500,000 fine as stipulated in the executive order.

He explained that the notice was issued in line with the board’s statutory responsibility to regulate physical development, outdoor advertising and the orderly use of public spaces.
“By this order, political posters, banners and other campaign materials shall not be pasted, mounted or displayed on public buildings, bridges, road infrastructure and other authorised locations.
“This is to preserve the aesthetics of the city of Jos, protect public infrastructure and ensure public safety during campaigns ahead of the forthcoming general elections,” Bankat said.
The general manager urged political parties, candidates, campaign organisations and advertising firms to obtain prior approval before erecting or displaying outdoor campaign materials.
