Drivers' License Expiration Is Now "5 Years" Says Federal Government by bumi10(m): 7:39am On Apr 25, 2016
The good news is that the Corps Marshal and Chief Executive Officer of Federal Road Safety Corps - Boboye Oyeyemi, has announced that the Federal Government has approved the extension of the validity period of Drivers license to five years.

This decision was taken by the Joint Tax Board at its 134th meeting held recently in Kano. In a chat with Transport Editors in Lagos, the Corps Marshal said rather than Drivers’ license expiring in three years, drivers now had the option of settling for either three or five years license.

This however comes with different price tags. Drivers who want the three years' license are to pay N6,000 while those who opted for the five years' license would pay N10,000.00

what's the difference?
still same 2000 per year, that's even if they won't frustrate you to opt for the one that gives them more cash claiming that the other variety is not available like the passport wahala.

At first, it seems a good news. but on seeing the price, I had mixed feelings.

But the 5 years option is still ok sha, 3 years is just too short.

What they need to work on is their database. I was taken aback, when I was informed that to renew even the new Driver's license, you still have to go to their office again to re-capture. Just after 3 years?? That one doesn't make sense at all.

If you are asking me to re-capture after 5 years still sounds more reasonable.

2k per year... That's too much I swear....

Government should learn to subsidized things for the citizen.
Upon a vehicle you pay 3k for road worthiness (I don't know the purpose of this one.
Pay 2500 for vehicle license (atleast should last 2 years).
Pay 5k for insurance that does not even exist.

Police go stop you tell you inner light, na 1k be that

Vio go still tell you ur papers na fake (if you fall Maga, 15k be ur money)

Custom fit stop you tell you ur paper no complete (O boy shine ur eye, u fit cough 200k)

On the long run, you will still pay 2k for drivers license.

It's a shame

Is like those saying 2k per year don't have drivers licence.
I paid 11k(official price 6350, parallel market price 10k to 15k) last week after much bargaining just to renew my licence that did not even last up 3years.
My licence was supposed to expire by December but they reduced it to February because that was my birth month. By the time you subtract the time delayed before collection you will discover that it was even less than 2yrs.
God help Nigeria.

No difference as far as the price is concerned. Why make the two option available? And why the difference in price? Not be the same procedure and same effort go into making the licenses? 419ers.
