FRSC frowns at 7500 unclaimed drivers licences in Delta State
The Federal Road Safety Corps is unhappy that 7,500 permanent drivers licences remained unclaimed in Delta state.
Patrick Okoyeocha, state Sector Commander, said the FRSC was unhappy with motorists who were in the habit of refusing to pick up their drivers licences after processing it.
Intensifying its public awareness drive via motor parks, churches and media houses, the Command wants drivers with a temporary licence to “collect their permanent driver’s licence” at the Motor licencing Office where they had their biometric captured.
Stating that possession of a valid licence was a requirement to driving in the country, Okoyeocha warned that doing so without one “endangers the lives of road users and constitutes traffic infraction.”
In June, the FRSC commenced compulsory Computer Based Test (CBT) for graduating applicants from driving schools seeking driver’s licence and recorded 80 per cent success in all registered driving schools across the country within a month.
