ARCON Orders Skitmakers, Bloggers, Others To Get Approval For All Digital Adverts (SEE WHY)

Nigerian comedians, bloggers, sketch creators, and other content creators using digital platforms may now face penalties for not obtaining permission before publishing their online adverts, according to the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON).

The aforementioned social media influencers and other digital media users are allegedly distributing content that is against the Nigerian Code of Advertising Practice, according to the federal government through ARCON.

This was contained in a press release signed by ARCON’s Director-General, Dr Olalekan Fadolapo on Monday, adding that most of the advertisements exposed by these people are “unethical with unverified claims and misinformation.”
