Abstract
More than ever before, environmental preservation has been a critical issue
for the survival of the world’s habitat. An attempt to explore global trends in
environmental monitoring using numerous ways based on different tech-
niques is an exercise in the right direction. This is expedient, given the recent
overwhelming growing rate of environmental pollution of advertisement
graphical bills worldwide. Posting of advertisement graphical bills constitutes
one of the biggest threats to man and his environment as it now appears and
as we live in an age of growing sensitivity to environmental cleanliness. Pollu-
tion of the Nigerian cities through advertisement bills assumes the general
term of outdoor advertising ranging from hand-printed signs, posters, painted
bulletins and spectaculars. However this paper discusses the trends of posting
graphic advertisement bills in Nigerian cities. Its impact on aesthetics, as well
as the pollution problems associated with the urban development. The study
areas are Abuja, Akure, Ibadan and Lagos. In order to ensure that each unit of
the population is represented, random sampling technique was used to get
the necessary information from the samples. The findings emphasize the
importance of strict control and market regulations in posting of advertise-
ment bill in built environment and eradication of pollution of the environ-
ment.
