The outdoor advertising giants are streaming video clips of the projects live on their LED screens within the metropolis and the locations of all these projects. This is with a view to creating mass awareness for the efforts of the state government. Since Governor Sanwo-Olu assumed the mantle, he has completed almost all the projects started  by previous administrations- in line with his campaign promise that no project will be abandoned.

This strategic support comes in the form of amplifying the giant strides of Governor Sanwo-Olu via the state-of-the-art LED boards owned by these top OOH companies across designated locations in the state. The outdoor agencies involved are doing this probono as a corporate social responsibility.

The purpose of the corporate social responsibility initiative by the players in Nigeria’s OOH sub-sector of the marketing communications industry is to bring to the fore, Mr. Sanwo-Olu’s quality leadership style in providing strategic direction for the growth of the state, which is aspiring to be a smart city.
