Abstract: 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. Pollution of the Nigerian cities through advertisement bills assumes the general term of outdoor advertising ranging from hand-printed signs, posters, painted bulletins and spectaculars. The concept of the urban and environmental graphics in the city aesthetic planning system has gained currency in many advanced countries. Nigerian signs and billboards can be referred to as environmental pollution because they create problems, and affect the urbanization planning in Nigerian cities. Also, the concepts equally see the objects in the streets as making up the city as figure and decorations not mere junks. As a result, urban and environmental graphics embraces city planning, which lacks care of all spheres - physical, aesthetics, transportation, waste disposal, erection of billboards, posters and other constructions that could enhance the beauty as well as harm the image of the city. The study area is Lokoja and its environs. Random sampling technique was adopted to ensure that each unit of the population is well represented in order to get the necessary information from the samples. The findings emphasize the importance of strict control and market regulations in posting of advertisement bill in built environment and eradication of pollution of the environment.
