President of the Outdoor Advertising Association of Nigeria (OAAN) Emmanuel Ajufo has called for collaboration between digital advertisers and regulatory agencies.
He spoke on “Regulatory Challenges and the growing need for collaboration in the Nigerian Advertising Industry” at the 10th year anniversary of Nimbus Media Ltd, a digital Out-of-Home advertising agency.
He said that while unnecessary regulations can be very challenging for players in the industry, most stakeholders are becoming more resilient and learning to adapt.
“Many players in the advertising field are business owners who just want to run their businesses without any undue pressure from regulators.
“They will typically cooperate with regulatory agencies if there is increased collaboration between the industry, regulators and governments,” he added.
He said digital advertisers should cooperate with regulators to avoid a challenging business environment.
The CEO of Nimbus Media Ltd, Wale Adegoke, said the event was an opportunity to bring together clients, partners and the advertising industry to explore a decade of innovative advertising solutions in Nigeria and chart the way forward.
According to him, it also commemorates a decade of providing innovative advertising solutions in the industry and an opportunity for professionals in the sector to thought-provoking discussions from important personalities in the sector.
