APCON to prosecute illegal practitioners
THE Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON) has once again vowed to prosecute illegal practitioners who practice without registering with the council, just as it called on all those seeking registration as advertising practitioners to possess the prescribed academic qualification or sit for APCON diploma in advertising examination.

This was made known by the acting registrar of the council, Mr. Bola Agboola at the opening ceremony of continous training workshop, organised by the council in Kano, Wednesday.
Mr. Agboola who advised the practitioners to observe the ethics of the profession in their daily engagements, was optimistic that knowledge acquired in the workshop will be of tremendous help to them and their profession.
In his opening remark, the chairman of the council, Dr. May Nzeribe who called on the members to use every available opportunity to improve on their profession said: ‘’We must always guide the media owners about the right thing to do.’’
He is of the opinion that the interest of consumers must be considered whatever the profession they practice.
Urging the practitioners to always uphold its ethics, the chairman said: ‘’We must always advise the media owners about the right of our client’s just as he warned them against short changing their customers.
In his speech, the permanent secretary CTV 67, Alhaji Farouk Umar Usman who represented the commissioner for information, frowned at activities of the practitioners especially as they concern Hausa jingles and advertisements.
