From July 1, Anybody found with old licence and number plate would be treated as a criminal - FRSC
The Federal Roads Safety Corps (FRSC) said it would prosecute motorists with old number plates and drivers licence as from July 1. Corps Commander, Clement Oladele, who is the Head, Advisory and Planning Unit of the Corps, said this on Tuesday in Jalingo at a workshop to sensitise motorists on the need to switch over to the new policy. Oladele noted that the workshop became necessary given the fact that the June deadline to phase out the old system was fast approaching. “Nigerians are aware that Oct 1, 2013 was set as deadline for them to switch over to the new licence and number plate following the launch of the new policy by President GoodLuck Jonathan, but for some reasons the deadline was shifted to June, 2014. “As the new date is fast approaching, there is need for us to sensitise and appeal to Nigerians to switch over to the new licence and number plate. “We want to let people know that when enforcement commences on July 1, anybody found with the old licence and number plate would be treated as a criminal and would face the full wrath of the law,” he said. Oladele also said that the new driver’s licence and number plate were designed with security features which would be used to check crime. “The new number plate is tied to an individual and not the vehicle. This implies that if you change your car, you are expected to visit a Motor Licence Agency and do re-validation for your new vehicle.” Also speaking, Mr. Peter Kibo, the FRSC Sector Commander in the state, said the sensitisation was a continuous process and appealed to Nigerians to try to obtain the new licence and number plate before the June deadline.
