Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps has directed a nationwide clampdown on motorcycles and tricycles without number plates with effect from Aug. 1, 2019.

Oyeyemi gave the directive in a news statement signed by Mr Bisi Kazeem, Corps Public Education Officer in Abuja, on Thursday.

He said the warning was as a result of the difficulty encountered in identifying such category of vehicles when used to commit traffic and criminal offences.

“This development has become imperative following the corps’ renewed commitment to ensuring the security of lives and property of citizens, by controlling and reducing the rate of crime.

“Motorcycles and tricycles without number plates are believed not to be captured in the National Vehicle database hence, in the event of a crash or crime, cannot be traced,” he said.

According to him, “the National Road Traffic Regulations (NRTR) 2012 was made pursuant to section 5(e) of the FRSC (Establishment) Act, 2007.

“It specifies the type of identification number plates for all categories of vehicles including motorcycles, tricycles and omnibus.

“Regulations 8 (1a and 1b) also states that a vehicle may be registered in any one of the following categories – motorcycles or tricycles.

“Furthermore, regulations 39(9) of the NRTR 2012 provides that all private and commercial vehicles shall as from the commencement of these regulations have on them, vehicle identification number plates referred to in this regulation.

“And it shall be an offence for any vehicle not to have the said identification number plates.

“Vehicles in this context include motorcycles and tricycles.

“To this end, commanding officers nationwide have been mandated to engage relevant stakeholders and associations to intimate them on the proposed clampdown.

“Public Education Officers have equally been directed to carry out all forms of advocacies to sensitise the riders to register their motorcycles and tricycles.

“The general public has also been advised to desist from patronizing motorcycles and tricycles without number plates as they stand the risk of being abandoned in times of crash or crime.”

Long overdue

Very lawless country, Nigeria.

Even the corp Marshal knows this directive won't work because most of the unregistered tricycles and bikes don't move on federal roads where road safety officials are posted.

This directive would be best carried out by the state VIOs or police. Not FRSC officials who are not posted to state roads

great, expecially motorcycles they are everywhere in Lagos

do you have a business, place in on google
first page with great result

Rubbish! Most have number plates!!! I will take them more seriously when they say they will go after unlicensed motorcycle and tricycle operators! I doubt they have driving licenses

Some of them are stolen good, they stole from an innocent person.

For the Government more money.

The search for revenue is on the rise. If this dont meet their target revenue they will come up with something towards the end of the year or early next year.

What have they been doing all this while??

K

hmmm

FRSC and LASTMA , their power these days, for airport road yesterday, one FRSC guy get mind to hit one guy taking someone to airport with a long stick cos he failed to stop on speed breaking his side mirror on the process , that place they are standing is so dangerous , then the road was not good it's ok , now that they ve done the road , I don't really know how they want someone coming from oshodi on speed to stop at that junction without traffic , watch out for bad news from that stop soon . most private cars at that spot are running late to the airport after oshodi traffic , main reason why they find it difficult to stop on speed too. God will help us

Ok

Most FRSC officers are disciplined and won't behave that way but LASTMA; those guys are Agberos

PDP is a congregation of criminals. Be careful around them. They have no integrity

Ok. That's better.

Frsc nor well

All motorcycles in Abuja don't have plate numbers.
Ndi arakuba has finished us

another way to extract from the public..

Ok

But don't collect.......

I hope they would not cause more accident again when they start pursuing motorists by fire by force..

Hmmm... Den go catch people taya
