The Federal Road Safety Corps has restated its plans to begin nationwide enforcement of the new drivers’ licence and plate numbers on October 2.
The FRSC Osun State Sector Commander, Peter Oke, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Osogbo on Wednesday.
Oke said the Osun State Command had marshalled out strategies to ensure full enforcement of the law across the state.
He said: “We have established a synergy with the state Internal Revenue Service to sensitise the public on the clampdown ahead of the October 2 deadline.
“Awareness campaigns are being carried out by the command to inform and educate the public on the enforcement plans.”
The Sector Commander said the portal for issuance of drivers’ licence and number plates for applicants would now be at the Motor Licensing Authority department of the state.
“The command’s enforcement in the state has improved towards the ember months’ campaign,” he said.
Oke said that sensitisation programmes are ongoing both on radio and television stations across the state to further enlighten residents of the enforcement plans.
Oke, who also spoke on unclaimed drivers’ licences, urged applicants to locate the commission’s offices and claim their licences.
“The number of vehicle licences issued for example in August is 221, while uncollected ones are about 2,859,” he said.
Oke however, cautioned road users against road traffic offences, adding that safety on the highway is a shared responsibility for the safety of lives and properties.
