Vehicle owners who approach the Federal Road Safety Corps for registration without genuine clearance documents from the Nigeria Customs Service will, henceforth, have such vehicles impounded.

President Goodluck Jonathan handed down the directive to the FRSC during the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting on Wednesday.

The Corps Marshal, FRSC, Mr. Osita Chidoka, attended the session to brief the FEC members on the country’s status on the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety (2011-2020).

He later joined the Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, to brief State House correspondents after the meeting.

Chidoka said the directive from the President would eliminate the era of fraudulent Customs papers being tendered by motorists seeking to register their vehicles in the country.

He said, “Initially, our plan was that when we see you, we ask you to go back to the Customs. But with the feedback from Mr. President today, that is not enough. We need to hold that car and investigate how it entered into the country without going through the normal process.

“So we will modify the process to include the Customs in that process.”

He said his organisation would continue to work hard to make Nigerian roads among the 20 safest in the world by 2020 in terms of accidents.

Chidoka also assured Nigerians that the delay being witnessed in getting the new driver’s licence would soon become a thing of the past.

Please let's be properly informed. They are to verify that the proper import papers are available before the registration of the car and plate number,they are not to stop already registered cars on the road to ask for import papers, that will be illegal.
So let's all take note so that some over zealous and ignorant FRSC staff doesn't 'chop you mugu'.

does this mean that already registered cars with plate numbers are exempted? So must i start carrying my custom papers for my car bought 6 yrs ago? FRSC as their usual practice will exploit the situation by stopping every car in sight so they should be please specific in conveying their message.

FRSC just keeps coming up with things they can use to make money.

Let them start impounding cars that should not be on the road or in terrible conditions.

If you must own a car, at least put it in order.

Please what does this really mean, does it mean that FRSC can just stop vehicles on the way and ask for custom papers or it applies to just newly registered cars.

Why should FRSC be doing Custom duties? It means nothing really works in this country, hence, the road safety agents who are meant for caution to roads users will now be after the import duties documents.

I went 2 Aba in january and I saw a guy that gave me the new plate number customised with my name on it for 20k with no genuine papers 4 it and I ve been using it since. I have visited d state house wit it several time and even when d FRSC sees it they alway throw salute 4 me & let me pass.


What am saying in nutshell is that if u use a very big & expensive car nobody will ask u 4 papers but if u use anyhow car then they can ask 2 even do frog jump

There they go again. What constitues 'correct Customs paper' they wont say. Now, VON, FRSC, NP etc will double their efforts to make life miserable for car owners and drivers.

Vampires in power!

Our version of democracy seems to be that of making life so hard for citizens. Like NIS like FRSC!

A very nice move. Making a Law isn't the problem, but Adhering to it, is the point in making such law. Hope that won't create a means where FRSC will turn to the popularly known "#20" men! who have migrated into demanding for a higher pay.
