Q
They argue that they have not been paying for such
fees since years when the advertisement boards have been affixed,

A
It is out of regular surveys conducted that their advertisement
boards are spotted and they are entitled to such payments as
per our bye-laws.

fees charged to them and some requests for exemption.
A
Referring once again to our LGA 2003, and explain to them
that such advertisement, whether placed on panel, billboard,
wall, building, tin or any other material or under glass are,
in fact, a means of boosting their trades/activities and therefore
Council remains the claimant.
