FRSC To Open 200 New Driver's Licence Offices In Nigeria

In a bid to ease the collection of driver’s licence and increase the revenue of Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), the commission has said it will open 200 driver’s licence offices across the country.

Speaking during the commissioning of a new driver’s licence centre in Offa, Kwara State capital, the Corps Marshal and Chief Executive Officer of FRSC, Boboye Oyeyemi, said the step was to sustain the integrity of driver’s licence in the country.

Boboye, who urged drivers to obtain and renew their driver’s licence at the new office instead of travelling to Ilorin, advised them to drive carefully during the Christmas and New Year year celebrations.

In his remarks, the Olofa of Offa, Oba Mufutau Okikiola, noted that citing of the office in Offa was to ensure easy collection of the licence and reduce travelling risks.

Commending the FRSC, Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), who is also the Chairman of Offa Descendants Union, Alhaji Najimdeen Yasin said more development awaits Offa Local Government Area.

The acting Chairman, Board of Internal Revenue, Nurudeen Ibrahim, represented Kwara Sate Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, on the occasion.
