The increase in the cost of road worthiness is big news. Guess you’ve all heard that it is double last years cost.

But what you don’t Know is Currently, it is compulsory to make your cars available for inspection.

The new road worthiness now as a different format to getting it, unlike before.


The new look of lagos state road worthiness




Now it is required you make a payment for the type of vehicle you’re bringing for inspection. there you will be given a slip with your referral code on it. This slip covers you for a period of 30 days for you to take your car for an inspection, find out whatever is wrong with it and fix it.

The referral note for the road worthiness


With this slip you take your car in for inspection and a final slip with be given to you, this would certify that your car is road worthy with a pass boldly written at the end.

Only Lagos and FCT has the testing facility. Other state road worthiness is still legally accepted even without computerised testing. The difference is in amount charged.

In Kaduna, we pay ₦500 for testing. In Abuja, its like ₦2,500 but the actual certificate is ₦1,500 every where in Nigeria.

Dont forget Awka and Minna also has the facility. Those thinking of migrating to other states to get theirs is not an issue. The exercise is a civic responsibility for every citizen to ensure that their vehicles are in order to enable us have seamless traffic. The Federal Govt does not issue roadworthy certificates. It is exclusively a state matter. For me, it will reduce the Honda menace on our roads, no more leg pullout on Lagos roads. By the time the Police are fully on ground at the centers, you will not go to Sokoto to get what is in your sokoto.

Lagos state should stop this nonsense. In a bid to make money off its people,they are always looking to duplicate the function of the federal govt.
The fed govt has a roadworthiness cert issued to cover the car on all nigerian roads, so why create another for just lagos. A certificate that will be useless once you drive into ogun state.
So what happens to motorists who stay outside lagos but just in lagos for a meeting, will they be impounded for not having this nonsense.
Am just waiting for the person that will clamp my car for not having it, rather than pay the fine,i will sue for damages in millions. Nonsense

EZENDIZUOGU:
But i did my renewal last week Thursday but was never given this new one, even though it was done at their office at Adeniji. i only got the old one( hand written) and the receipt from ministry of transport plus sticker.

Reference:
So is Lagos not creating another country by default. Is this not a secessionist move. Can it enforce this, impound vehicles from other states and perhaos arrest its owners who violate (its laws). What is the Joint Tax Board saying about this.

We say no to state police but have the Hisbah operating in some northern states and all manner of paramilitary organisations all around Nigeria with real powers to apprehend, disrupt and even incarcerate Nigerians.

We say we are a non religious, circular democracy but we have sharia laws they say are for adherents to the faith.

When we say restructure so that these things can be understood, negotiated, mutually accepted and made lawful. But the hypocrisy in us will not allow that simply because we want Nigeria laws to hold others back while we need our own laws to forge ahead. We want to have our cake and eat it. We need the security of Nigeria but not the responsibility towards our fellow men.

These are the fault lines of injustice that cause unnecessary turbulence in this country, that makes this entity called a nation unworkable and we will continue to burn resources and shed blood needlessly from time to time to keep it from imploding.

Unworthy roads, number 1 cause of unworthy cars!

bayulll011:
stop whining and make a meaningful contributions.

what you should say is the certificate in Lagos should be accepted in ogun state.

this will reduce all those unfortunate roads that is shorting our life span in lagos.

my problem is the weak and slow governor that is sole aim is to win the next elections.

abikerichard:
The Lagos State Government is committed to the safety of its citizens. If everyone is committed to vehicle safety, there will be less carnage on the roads and lesser griefs caused by defective vehicles on the highway. It is our responsibility to support the government to help reduce breakdowns, accidents and fatalities on the highways.

pussyeater:
Another way to embezzle

I can assure you that the "Honda menace" you claim wont stop until fake parts stop coming from China.

The testing facilities are to test majorly for emissions and safety. Its unlike in the US when you have a check engine light, its an automatic fail. We dont have such strong laws.

They check tires, tire pressure, spare tire, jack, wiper blades, rear view mirrors, windscreen, lighting, illegal modification of the car etc. Road safety are already doing all that. This is just duplication of duties or at best transfer of duties.

Those rickety vehicles that carry fire wood, charcoal, market women never have documentation and would never be bothered. It is the private car owner that FRSC concern themselves with. I know that VIO do trouble some taxis and buses but still dont do a perfect job.

Itz always very annoying to see aw govt, most Xpecially in Nigeria get rich quick at d xpense of the poor masses... Dy wil jst sit and com up wit one useless law, or any stupid idea jst to colour d poor n suffering masses.Dy are always finking of how to mk d poor bcom poorer, while dy grow richer.. Av nva seen a country as useless as diz.. What is d meaning of road worthiness cert..? Nonsense... !

Reference:
Everyone who makes laws say the same thing. And I agree, you cannot have a progressive society without proactive laws. That is why we advocate for the decoupling of instruments of state. My grouse is the hypocrisy with which it is being done. No one rolled out tanks when Lagos decided it needed new Local Government Councils. The law operated and Federal might prevailed. Instead they were called Local Government Authorities. Today states including Lagos have all sorts of laws and edicts tjat run contrary to the Federal Republic but no one says they are wrong. No one is in detention because of that. Why pretend about what is obvious. That this country needs restructuring. Why seek to hold others back when you do almost the exact thing through the backdoor or creep tjrough the window.

If I drive my car to Lagos what guarantees does the mighty Federal Government give me that it will not be impounded because I donot pay taxes to Lagos state (by proxy)

sooperrescue:
If you have been there, you will understand better. They check the headlamps with a device to know if it is properly focused , they put the car on a spinning machine that determines the suspension , alignment and the braking power. The Range Rover I took there failed because of bushings issues. Does it mean the Honda menace only occurs after using China Parts or before?

If it gets accepted in ogun,will it be accepted in ibadan?
If edo state or delta starts their own,will it be accepted by lagos

timifakay:
Same in Oyo.

As you have confessed you are in trouble...... prepare your scanner.

Road worthiness is road worthiness irrespective of were it is issued
