The proceeds of the recently introduced annual fee of N1,000 to be paid by motorists in the country for Proof of Ownership Certificate verification, is to be shared between the Federal Road Safety Corps the states and consultants engaged for the exercise, the Permanent Secretary, Lagos Ministry of Transportation, Abdulhafiz Toriola, has said.

Toriola had disclosed on June 27 that the Proof of Ownership Certificate would help vehicle owners and the government to guarantee the integrity of all vehicles registered on the National Vehicle and Identification Scheme database. He added that the initiative would also help in tracking stolen vehicles.

Responding via text messages to enquiries by our correspondent on how the proceeds from the yearly levy would be shared, Toriola wrote, “It is to be shared between states and FRSC and the consultant.”

He had said, “The annual Proof of Ownership Certificate is in line with compliance with legal requirements fundamental to transparency, security and accountability within the transportation network. To this end, the Federal Government has introduced the issuance of an annual Proof of Ownership Certificate for all registered vehicles.

This certificate will serve as official documentation of a vehicle’s legal owners upon successful completion of the necessary requirements and procedures. The POC will contain vital information, including the vehicle’s registration details, such as number plate, model, year of manufacture in addition to the owner’s name and address.”

He noted that having critically reviewed the challenges encountered in ensuring the promotion of safety and security of lives and property through the issuance of the certificate nationally and especially in the state, the Joint Tax Board, in its communiqué at the end of the emergency meeting on May 9, 2023, resolved that the proof of ownership should be issued to motorists annually nationwide.

He said Lagos State would commence the collection of the fee in July, 2023.

Damn!

We're yet to hear from "this govt will favour me and my family" crew

By the time the okpolor eye is done with those miscreants that voted him their eyes go clear

Let d masses breath.

Why is the Perm Sec of Lagos State Ministry of Transport the one giving report on the sharing formula of the new levy on car owners Abeg who are the consultants?? Bourdillion boys ti take tax cashout to another level

I don't agree with this fee

I thought the NBA wants to challenge it in Court

If this is not rejected now on the long run it would be financial burden to us and government will cash out big time without using the money for anything. Charging 1k maybe small but on the long run the amount would be increase. Road worthiness they charge N4,5 is now 15k, if money generated at the end would be utilized optimally none will complain but at the end it would be devoured without showing Mercy..

You mean Tinubu and his friends

Subsequent year if I fail to pay the money 💰 for proof of ownership it will stop me being the owner of my 🚗? This people are outright criminals, they think 🤔 of nothing but how to inflict pains on Nigeria masses, i know that criminal government lead by APC will make sure they pauperize Nigeria masses, they will will make sure they turn Nigerians to what Hausa people call (JOGWOLI), the primary responsibility of government of a nation is to create means of making wealth for the people it govern, but this oluwole government of APC is blocking every means of earning legitimately, imagine a responsible government celebrating that they have successfully reduced vehicles plying Nigeria roads by making fuel astronomically high!! What they don't know is that any policies that will make the govern not to meet there yesterday obligations are evil 🙈 policies, (already Buhari succeeded in making sure that no 3 square meals again in Nigeria because he thinks that 200 million Nigerians are eating corruption) now TINUBU is making sure that he reduce vehicles on Nigeria roads so only the corrupt polical elites convoys will only be able to buy fuel ⛽. God pass them.

Hmmmmm... People are suffering here. You guys should remember the poor masses.

May the 12bn proceeds that FRSC wants to share from car vehicle ownership Favor me and my Family.

My concern in this government's IGR drive is that almost all policies have direct impact on the poor masses which makes up to 90% of thr population or even more

Nothing has been done to reduce the cost of governance which takes a huge toll on the nations budget,rather RMAC were talking of increasing their paycheck by almost 100%(though they denied,but experiences has shown that in every executive rumour there is an atom of truth)

Ahh. See scam

we are used to such things here in Lagos. Let the whole federation test it too. Next will be introduction of states Driver's license

Scam! No way

Hehehe...so tinubu government is now jealous of Nigerians that own car/cars that you have to pay for proof of ownership...

...and if you fail to pay the next year,the vehicle seizes to be yours

Lo rilo

The new Sherrif Tax in town!

Nigerians will as usual comply..SMH

Wittyness

Nothing these people ever do reach the tongue of the common man. Just dey share money. Dey share funds. Better for igbos to go abeg

Let the poor breef

Dumb asses talking trash

Court shld do & terminate dis placeholder govt, nobody voted for dem... can't be suffering for wat I never bargained for!

Nigeria is a poor nation. The largest percentage of population is living in abject poverty. All these policies won't favour the majority. It will rather be impoverishing them the more. You don't wake up suddenly and reel our policies which are in force in the Western countries when we're not enjoying the same benefits as those living in those countries.

Can we boast of good roads in Nigeria where same vehicles drive on? Land use charge collection in alimosho received a boost after Ambode tarred almost all their roads. People are paying without being coerced. The records are there at alausa. When the government has good infrastructure in place, only a fool will not want to fulfil their obligations as a citizen. I can't wait to see the toll gate along lagos ibadan expressway as proposed. I'd gladly pay the toll and move on., just like every other reasonable Nigerian. Why is tinubu taxing those who have nothing to give? That's what is called, a gba lowo merii in yoruba ( you're collecting from who doesn't have anything to give).

Angola in its wisdom only reduced their subsidy instead of outright removal and before they did so, palliatives had already been put in place. Tinubu's proclamation is tantamount to putting a cart before a horse. Till date, no palliatives to alleviate the adverse effect of the subsidy that was removed People have turned beggers on the road, begging people to give them a lift to work. I pray kidnapping and ritual killings won't increase as commuters become more desperate on the course.

Tinubu knows what to do to end subsidy fraud but he won't go there so he doesn't offend his friends.

Una never see sumtin

This sharing formula must favour me

Okay

Prove of ownership should only be done by Neew owners not necessarily every year

Making it every years is not cool

See Nigerians again.
The increase on 3rd party insurance una never challenge am.
Na this 1k matter una want challenge

Una never see anything yet
