The government will, from Saturday, November 14, begin a nationwide billboard inspection and enforcement exercise, with structures found to be in breach of prescribed standards and regulatory requirements facing demolition.

The exercise, being undertaken by the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs in collaboration with the Advertising Association of Ghana (AAG) and other relevant institutions, is intended to improve public safety and ensure compliance with regulations governing outdoor advertising.

In a press release dated November 13, 2026, the Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga, said the exercise would commence as scheduled, following an earlier announcement on November 5.

The release said billboard owners and outdoor advertising companies had been required to identify their structures by displaying their names and company details by Friday, November 13.

The Ministry warned that any billboard found to violate the required standards and regulatory provisions would be pulled down.

The operation is aimed at safeguarding the public, strengthening regulatory compliance and creating an orderly environment for outdoor advertising.

The Ministry has appealed to billboard owners, advertising companies and the general public to cooperate with the authorities to ensure the successful execution of the exercise.
