Relief might be at hand for many Nigerians who have not yet acquired the new number plates and required driving license.
This conclusion was deduced from strong indications that the deadline
set for acquiring the new driving license and number plates might be
extended by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC)
The corps had reportedly
given September 30 as deadline for motorists to obtain the two vital
documents and was expected to commence a nationwide enforcement on
October 1 but following public outcry showing that over 50 per cent of
motorists had yet to procure the two items, the FRSC might have bowed to
pressure to extend the deadline to the end of the year.
A source at the FRSC head office in Abuja said that the Corp Marshal,
Mr. Osita Chidoka, had already sent a proposal to the joint tax force
for the extension.
There were complaints from motorists, especially in Lagos and Abuja
that they faced a lot of difficulties in processing the new driving
license and the number plates.
Meanwhile, the FRSC on Wednesday in Lagos continued its speed limit
campaign and encouraged motorists and transport companies to install a
standard device in their vehicles.
