FRSC To Grant Banks, Others Database Access by candycrushsoda: 5:39pm On May 19, 2015
As part of measures to tackle terrorism and
other criminal activities in the country, the
Federal Road Safety Corps has initiated the
process of opening its drivers’ database to
banks and security agencies.

With this initiative, financial institutions can
easily verify their customers’ identity by
accessing the FRSC database while security
agencies could use the information from the
database to investigate criminal cases.

The Corps Marshal, FRSC, Boboye Oyeyemi, who
said this during a training workshop on the new
driving licence and number plates organised
for members of the security agencies in Abuja
on Tuesday, explained that the access being
granted would enable security agencies to check
forgery and other criminal acts.

Oyeyemi stated that the FRSC is building
synergy and cooperation with other security
agencies to check counterfeit driving licence
and number plates by touts and fraudsters.
He noted that the corps’ insistence on due
process for acquisition of driving licence has
paid off, noting that the document now enjoys
international recognition and acceptance in
some states in the United States of America
and other European countries.

The Corps Marshal said, “We are creating a
synergy with other security agencies and
granting them access to our database and with
this, banks and security agencies would now
have access to the FRSC database for
verification of customers and other individuals
as part of measures to check insecurity in the
country.”

Oyeyemi knocked motorists who patronised
touts, stressing that it is cheaper to procure the
driver’s licence from the FRSC.

“The driver’s licence is N6,550, so why give
somebody N10,000 or N15,000 to do a fake one
for you? Is that not stupidity?,” he asked.
Oyeyemi claimed that more security features
had been built into the licence to make it
difficult to forge or duplicate, noting that no
one can obtain it by proxy without undergoing
biometric data and physical capturing.
