Outdoor advertisers petition gov’t to halt median sign demolitions

Outdoor advertisers are urging the government to halt the ongoing demolition of median advertising signs, warning that a total ban could have devastating economic consequences, similar to those of Ghana’s banking sector cleanup. In a petition dated May 5, 2026, the Outdoor Advertisers Association cautioned that the exercise, if not reviewed, could “destroy businesses and cost jobs,” drawing parallels with the impact of the Ghana banking sector cleanup.
