Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Edo Sector Command, says no fewer than 3,469 unclaimed driver’s licences are awaiting collection by their owners in the state.

This is contained in a statement issued by the FRSC Public Education Officer, Ms Omozie Inegbenebor, in Benin on Thursday.

Ms Inegbenebor quoted the FRSC Sector Commander, Henry Benamaisia, as disclosing this when Governor Godwin Obaseki visited the Driver’s Licence Centre in Benin for his biometric capturing.

Mr Benamaisia stressed the need for road users, not just to apply for driver’s licence, but also to ensure collection when they were ready.

He urged road users to obtain their driver’s licence through normal process, as exemplified by the governor who visited the licence office.

“This notable act of the governor has shown how important it is for all road users to be law-abiding and obtain their licences so as to avoid being caught by the long arm of the law,” Mr Benamaisia said.
