UGHELLI NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCIL CLARIFIES COMPLIANCE STATUS OF MR. TOBORE AGBAH’S BRANDED VEHICLE AND REMOVAL NOTICE FOR ILLEGAL EXTENSION AT HIS POST OFFICE JUNCTION PREMISES.

The Ughelli North Local Government Council wishes to clarify the following matters concerning Mr. Tobore Alex Agbah and to place the facts before the general public:

1. PAYMENT OF BRANDED VEHICLE FEE

Mr. Tobore Alex Agbah has complied with the applicable regulatory requirements of the Council regarding the branding of his campaign vehicle by making the prescribed payment.

The Council reiterates that signage and outdoor advertising activities are subject to the relevant regulatory framework of the Delta State Signage and Advertisement Agency (DESAAA), the statutory agency established by the Delta State Government to regulate and oversee signage, advertising permits and related outdoor advertising activities within the State.

2. GRACE PERIOD FOR REMOVAL OF UNAPPROVED STRUCTURE

The Council has granted Mr. Agbah a grace period, effective immediately and terminating on Saturday, 31st October 2026, being the designated Environmental Sanitation Day, to remove the unapproved extension structure attached to his shop at Post Office Junction, Ughelli.

The structure in question was constructed beneath high-voltage electricity transmission lines and is therefore considered a public safety concern in addition to being an unapproved structure.

Mr. Agbah is expected to utilise the grace period to voluntarily remove the structure and comply fully with the Council’s directive. Failure to do so within the stipulated period will compel the Council to take the necessary enforcement action, including removal of the structure, without further notice.

3. ADVISORY TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC

The Council hereby advises any individual, organisation or group intending to brand vehicles for commercial, political, campaign or other advertising purposes to obtain the necessary approvals and make all prescribed payments in accordance with extant regulations before deploying such branded vehicles.

Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements is mandatory and non-negotiable.

4. TEMPORARY UNSEALING OF MR. AGBAH’S PREMISES

Following Mr. Agbah’s compliance with the Council’s directive regarding the payment of the applicable signage fees, and his commitment to fulfil the outstanding regulatory requirement concerning the removal of the unapproved extension within the stipulated grace period, the Council has temporarily unsealed his premises.

This temporary unsealing should not be misconstrued as an approval or regularisation of the illegal extension. The directive for its removal remains in force.

5. RESPONSIVENESS TO STAKEHOLDER INTERVENTIONS

The Council’s decision demonstrates its willingness to listen to genuine pleas and constructive interventions from well-meaning individuals and stakeholders, while remaining firm in its responsibility to uphold the rule of law, public safety and applicable regulatory standards.

The Ughelli North Local Government Council therefore reaffirms its commitment to a fair, responsible, responsive and people-oriented administration, while ensuring that all applicable laws, regulations and public safety requirements are duly enforced in the overall interest of the good people of Ughelli North.

RE: AMB. TOBORE ALEX AGBAH’S OFFICE: UGHELLI NORTH COUNCIL CLARIFIES SEALING OF PREMISES AS LAWFUL REGULATORY ACTION

For the avoidance of doubt, the sealing of the premises associated with Amb. Tobore Alex Agbah was a regulatory and public safety enforcement action and was neither political nor personal. It also has no connection whatsoever with the proposed 10,000-man march.

The facts are clear. The structure extension in question was erected without the requisite valid authorisation and was constructed directly beneath high-voltage electricity transmission lines, thereby creating a serious public safety concern.

The occupant was duly served the appropriate regulatory notice prior to the proposed march, following which the necessary enforcement action was carried out in accordance with the applicable regulations and established procedures.

It is important to emphasise that the enforcement exercise was not targeted at Amb. Agbah or his premises. Similar structures and extensions across the Local Government Area that contravene applicable regulations or pose safety risks have also been identified and subjected to appropriate regulatory action.

The exercise is therefore part of a broader enforcement effort aimed at ensuring compliance with development regulations, protecting lives and property, and promoting public safety across Ughelli North Local Government Area, without favour or discrimination.

Attempts to portray the enforcement action as victimisation or political persecution are inconsistent with the facts surrounding the matter. The Council will remain focused on its statutory responsibilities and will continue to enforce applicable regulations in a fair, transparent and consistent manner.

The Executive Chairman of Ughelli North Local Government Council, Olorogun Jaro Movudu Egbo, KSC, remains committed to due process, public safety, regulatory compliance and the equitable application of the law in the overall interest of the people of Ughelli North.
