The core advertising sectors will have only two representatives in the seven-man governing board.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe overseeing Ministry will have one representative. The public representative will be three.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jenkins Alumona, AAAN vice-president, said the new Act will curtail quackery in the advertising industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe advertising industry and the Nigerian business environment will be the greatest beneficiary of this change,\u201d Alumona said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to end the use of the advertising space to sell lies in the guise of advertising. Under the current law, non-practitioners can get away with placing unvetted and unprofessional advertising messages in the media.
