The Cross River State Signage and Advertisement Agency (CRISSAA) has announced a new mandatory tariff structure for outdoor campaign advertisements ahead of the 2027 general elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Under the new guidelines, presidential candidates are required to pay ₦150 million, while governorship hopefuls face a ₦100 million fee. The tiered structure continues with senatorial candidates at ₦50 million, House of Representatives candidates at ₦25 million, and State House of Assembly candidates at ₦5 million.

Speaking to the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Calabar, CRISSAA Director-General Ubong Sam stated the new rates are intended to regulate advertising spaces and ensure fairness. He also mandated that all campaign materials be removed within 30 days of election results being announced, warning that failure to comply or pay the required fees could result in fines exceeding one million naira per violation, enforced by the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON).

While the Cross River State Chairman of IPAC, Engr. Effiom Edet, deemed the fees fair, the announcement has drawn sharp criticism from opposition parties. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Action Democratic Party (ADP) have rejected the tariffs as excessive, arguing that such high costs are a deliberate attempt to price smaller parties and less-resourced candidates out of the outdoor advertising market.
