Lagos, Nov. 29, 2024 – Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA) has launched new porta cabin offices in three locations across Lagos State.
The offices ae in Badagry Local Government Secretariat, Ikorodu Local Government Secretariat, Lagos Television premises and LASAA warehouse.
This initiative is to bring the Agency closer to its many clients and improve the regulation of outdoor advertising landscape, ultimately optimizing revenue generation for the State.
Speaking at the launch of the new offices, the Managing Director/CEO of the Agency, Prince Fatiu Akiolu said they were extensions of the Agency’s branches across the State.
According to him, “The porta cabins launched are not just physical structures, they represent our ongoing commitment to enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations.”
The MD explained that, with the rapid growth of Lagos and the increase in the formation of businesses, Lagos has become a dynamic hub for innovation and creativity, and with that comes the need for sophisticated solutions to manage our operations better to meet the rise in the display of business signs in the State.
In his words, “Strategically situating the offices is important to the Lagos State Government for revenue optimisation as it will impact positively on the development of the State, as we demonstrate our support for Mr Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwoolu towards actualizing a much greater Lagos.
“It has become necessary for the Agency to provide these decent portal cabins for the convenience of our staff members and by extension, for our revered walk-in clients who visit to register their business signs and make relevant enquiries.
“These portal cabins symbolize a major step forward in our operations at LASAA. The provisions reflect our dedication to embracing innovation and modernization to improve our service delivery.
“With these new facilities, we are not just upgrading our operational capabilities; we are also ensuring that our processes are more efficient, accessible, and transparent. Each facility is fitted with air-conditioners, computers, tables, chairs, bathrooms, and kitchens,” he said.
Mr Adegbolahan Dixon, the Deputy General Manager, Operations and Innovations of LASAA, said it become imperative to open new porta cabin offices to complement the existing ones as some local governments in the state did not have spaces where they can construct new office buildings.
“We decided to approach some sister agencies with spaces within their premises to set up the porta cabin offices to reach more clients.
“The overriding idea is to be close to our existing and potential customers instead of them going to our head office to transact business.
“With these offices that are close to them, they can interface with our members of staff who will guide them on how to register and obtain permits for their business signs,” he said.
Dixon also said the Agency had opened a number of offices this year which were effectively serving a purpose and that more will be opened for operational expansion next year. (GBN)
