She disclosed that FRSC in the state was collaborating with the state’s Board of Internal Revenue Service (BIRS) to ensure that the process of obtaining the number plate was less cumbersome for the people.
Akura explained that the decision on the enforcement was also informed by the need to improve on the existing database of the national driver’s licence and vehicles’ registration.
“The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has posited that there is an urgent need to get motorcycles and tricycles registered in order to enhance national security.
“It is also to fulfil extant laws by obtaining Class ‘A’ Rider’s Licence with effect from Aug. 1, 2019,” she added.
