The Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA), last night suspended the operating license of the advertising agency identified as Provision Media Limited behind the repulsive semi-nude ladies in mobile advertisement truck along Lekki Road, Lagos.

The suspension is pending final investigation, on the indecent projection of women in the advertisment .

LASAA  said the  company’s  “unregistered mobile advertising truck has no valid registration for the current year 2019 and it was illegally deployed in engaging in abysmally debasing projection of semi-nude women for several hours around the Lekki/Ikoyi toll gate.”

It added,  “The agency having gone through its records for the current year 2019 could confirm that the truck with Lagos State plate number APP713XL is not registered with the agency for the deplorable purpose for which it was deployed by the company on Saturday,” Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer  of LASAA,  Bolaji Sanusi said in a statement.

He declared that “no outdoor mobile advert truck within the jurisdiction of our dear state is licensed to display such crass immorality of the calibre that the owner(s) of this unregistered truck exhibited on our roads over the weekend.”
