Driver’s Licence, Old Number Plates To Expire Sept 31 – FRSC

The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) said
on Wednesday that the old number plates and the
old driver's licence would expire by Sept. 31 The Sector Commander of the
commission in Plateau, Mr Sunday
Maku, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Jos. Maku said that officers and men of the
commission would commence enforcement by
Oct. 1. He called on motorists without driver's licence to
obtain one so as to stream into the changes
taking place in the society. He said that the new number plate would reduce
criminal activities nationwide, adding that the
new system had "a tremendous advantage over
the old ones''. "Before, it was possible for you to sell your car
with your number plate; but nowadays, number
plates are registered in the name of the owner. "If you want to sell the car, you cannot sell the car
with number plate, you have to remove the
number plate, the new buyer will have to get his
own number in his own name. So, with this
system, it becomes very easy to trace criminals
that are using number plates for criminal activities."
