Saw some men of the FRSC stopping some cars with old plate numbers. Just wondering if it is now an offence to drive with the old plate number. I know the appeal court ruled in their favour. But have they started implementing it. If someone can confirm, i think it will be good for all nairalander to me aware.

If you ask me, na who I go ask

ABUJA – The management of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, disclosed
Monday that the corps will not fixed a deadline for a nationwide enforcement of
the new vehicle -number plate and driver’s license.
The Corps Marshal and Chief executive of FRSC, Boboye Oyeyemi, while
addressing newsmen shortly after a strategic retreat for its Zonal Commanders,
in Abuja, said that there was no deadline for the new driver’s license but urged
motorist to renew their particulars as at when due.
According to him, “On the uniform licensing scheme, the Court of Appeal
judgement, the scheme is on course but we are not setting any deadline date,
its going to be a circle period, so once your drivers licence expires, you go back
and renew your licence and also when your vehicle licence expires you go in the
process you cut over to the new plate number, and it is joint task force that is
empowered to do this.
“You are aware of the Court of Appeal judgment, but now if your license must
expire before you renew, if you don’t renew we will arrest you.”
