He said “If we should have any advert on any of those channels you have to pay to the government.

The beauty of it is that once you pay to Ogun State it covers the whole of the country.

“It is payable in all States in Nigeria and because Ogun State is the biggest  industrial hub,  we believe it should have the biggest market for the mobile advert.

Onifade said “Some people will want to default fraudulently and some people default innocently , people who default innocently are people who don’t know that they should get the sticker or have forgotten to get the sticker, those one,  we would sell the sticker to them on the spot.

“For those who deliberately criminally counterfeit the stickers will be prosecuted, the law provides that we should prosecute those people,” he concluded.
