Throwing light on challenges being faced by the agency’s enforcement team, in its bid to rid Lagos of the visual blights posed by indiscriminate use outdoor political campaign materials, Noah lamented: “Our officials are being attacked and harassed daily whenever they set out to discharge their statutory duties across the state.
