The Lagos State Motor Vehicle Administration Agency (MVAA) has announced a new validity period of five years for the National Drivers License, noting however that the choice is optional. The General Manager of the Agency, Mr. Lateef Lawal, who disclosed this today, said the decision was taken at the 134thMeeting of the Federal Road Safety Commission’s Joint Tax Board in order to ease off the renewal/reissue process of the Drivers License.



Speaking further, the General Manager lauded the initiative and maintained that with the new feature, applicants have the opportunity to either select the option of three (3) or five (5) year validity period, adding that applicants who are unable to complete the processing within a specific time now have an extended period for renewing the license.



While emphasising that this initiative is also aimed at improving on service delivery and ensuring that the service is readily available to all applicants, Lawal affirmed that processing fees remain at six thousand, three hundred and fifty Naira (N6, 350) for the three-year period and ten thousand, three hundred and fifty Naira (N10, 350) for five year option, inclusive of bank charges.



The General Manager however urged intending applicants to patronize only accredited driving schools following which an e-certificate will be issued to commence the process of obtaining a drivers license.

Good one. Buhari is working. APC is working.

Then you want to now make motorists to install "speed limiters" as if you care for their lives. We are Nigerians and we know its just another ploy to milk the citizenry

Eko o ni baje ooo. always thinking hard to generate income

This is not news.it was originally like that-an option of 3year license or the 5yr one.

And for the bush men above ^.its an frsc thingy,not a Lagos one.

Good but it may interest you to know that since February 2016 till today I'm not getting my permanent drivers license! Temporary opt to last for 3 months but I ve gone back twice in 3 months each for extension, I will be going this month to make it 3 times I ve gone for extension. Meaning for 9months I still ve not gotten my card ready!

Old news. It's been on since January.

May God bless Lagos State Government

Change begins with you

can't their be a life and permanent driver's license without renewal

This is so dumb. Why charge that much difference? Who wish to stay Naija d next 5 years with the way things are going? Waawa. Ndi ara. Awon weere gbogbo. concobility smellos

Uhm

There is no spectacular advantage choosing between three years and five years because your still paying same amount from my calculations the licence is 2000# per year times 3years give 6 and times 5years gives 10 + bank charges 350

Exactly how long does it take to get the license?
