Dissolution of advertising standards panel committee sparks regulatory row

The Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON) announced the dissolution of the Advertising Standards Panel (ASP) Secretariat, following a series of controversies surrounding the recent “All Eyes on the Judiciary” advertising campaign.

The council has cited numerous violations and lapses in the approval process, leading to a decision to dismantle the ASP secretariat responsible for overseeing advertisement vetting.
