The Federal Road Safety Commission has said that it has not approved any deadline for the acquisition of new license plate and drivers license, stating that motorists should renew their vehicle particulars when they expired as in compliance with the law.
FRSC Public Education Officer, Jonas Agwu said that the FRSC stands by the decision of the Joint Tax Board to suspend the enforcement and that there are no plans to start clamping down on motorists over the issues.
He said in a statement, “Contrary to media reports, the Federal Road Safety Commission wishes to reiterate that it has not fixed a deadline for a nationwide enforcement of the new vehicle number plate and driver’s license.
“This is coming on the heels of inundated media reports and on-line publications of a proposed plan by the FRSC to commence a nationwide clamp down on vehicle owners/motorists from August 1, 2014 for non-compliance with the directive on the new vehicle number plate and driver’s licence.
“For avoidance of doubt, the commission wishes to state that it still stands on the earlier resolve to defer enforcement of the new number plate and driver’s licence following the suspension of the June 30 deadline.”
