Kogi State announces fixed charges for candidates seeking to use campaign signage and materials for the 2027 elections. The state sets a N150 million fee for presidential candidates, aiming to regulate the placement of billboards and generate revenue.
The outlets report that Kogi’s decision also includes separate fees for other legislative races. Vanguard adds that the state approves N50 million for senatorial candidates, N30 million for candidates contesting the House of Representatives, and N5 million for candidates seeking seats in the State House of Assembly.
Across the two reports, the core details match: Kogi sets a N150 million charge specifically for presidential campaign signage in 2027 and frames the policy as both regulatory and revenue-raising. The Punch emphasizes the N150 million presidential billboard and campaign materials fee, while Vanguard broadens the list to include fees for different offices.
