The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has revealed a list of the most important vehicle documents.
According to the agency’s Facebook page, these six documents must be on the driver, at all times, as lack of these documents could to harassment and a seized car.

2. Vehicle license.

After your license as a driver, getting your vehicle license is also as important. This can be easily done on the FRSC official website. This is what your vehicle license looks like:
Insurance Certificate.

Certificate of Road worthiness

This is a document certifying that a vehicle is road-worthy and can be driven on the Nigerian road for a stated period of time.

This document is mandatory for all commercial vehicles and its validity is for a period of 6 months. For private vehicles, however, that are older than 5 years, the road-worthiness certificate is to be obtained once a year.

The road-worthiness certification process has been adopted on the AutoReg platform in Kebbi and Niger states.

FRSC is a joke. They issued me a road worthiness certificate without coming to check whether my car is truly worthy to be on the road. Even the state revenue service will still come and sell anti fume sticker to you, if not they will impound your vehicle, meanwhile I have certification of road worthiness. SMH!

Two questions;
1. Why is vehicle insurance compulsory?
2. Is road worthiness truly issued upon road Worthy vehicles in Nigeria or is just a way of getting money from vehicle owners annually?

Please guys help me with your inputs

Is it just me or you actually listed just 4 documents which are

1 driver's licence
2 vehicle licence

3. Insurance

4 certificate of road worthiness

And you didnt help the situation by not numbering them orderly.

On a serious note, which government agency's directives are motorists to obey?

The idiots in police uniform have asked me repeatedly for all the above and then for proof of ownership. I have been stopped at Benin-Agbor road by SARS patrol team and asked to produce the receipt of my vehicle's plate number. Had to call an assistant commissioner of police for escort to get these formalised robbers in uniform out of my way.

Then there's VIO! Why there can't just be a uniform paper put out by ministry of transport or information for motorists instead pf having these thieving cash-hungry thugs in uniform to be frustrating motorists?

Which way Nigeria, land of the absurd!
