What Tinubu Said About ‘All Eyes On Judiciary’ Billboards – ARCON DG
Olalekan Fadolapo, the Director-General of the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON), has stated that President Bola Tinubu did not instruct the removal of the “all eyes on the judiciary” billboards in various parts of the country.
Earlier, ARCON had issued a directive for the removal of billboards sponsored by a group called the Diasporas for Good Governance. Additionally, ARCON dissolved its advertising standards panel for approving billboards related to the presidential election petition tribunal.

He clarified that the steps taken by ARCON, including the suspension of the director and deputy director of regulations, were administrative procedures.
Fadolapo clarified that the billboards in question were related to the judiciary, not the presidency. He refuted claims that the presidency had instructed ARCON’s actions. He emphasized that the judiciary has not made any statements regarding this matter, and he asserted that the presidency is dealing with numerous issues, granting agencies their independence to perform their duties.
Regarding the suspended officials, Fadolapo stated that they would face a committee for a comprehensive review of the situation and a fair hearing in the course of the investigation. He confirmed that necessary actions would be taken against the billboard owners, including sanctions against all outdoor organizations involved.
