THE Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) yesterday said it will soon create additional 71 centres for drivers’ licence to increase them to 200.
The move, according to the Corps Marshal and Chief Executive of the FRSC, Boboye Oyeyemi, will assist in tackling some of the challenges encountered by people waiting to be captured.
Oyeyemi, who spoke at a sensitisation programme organised in partnership with Cleen Foundation on the drivers licence application and renewal procedure, said the corps has renewed its commitment to the reform in the licensing system by investing more in workers’ capacity and development
He, however, stated low uploading of data, racketeering and slow collection of printed original drivers licence cards as some of the challenges affecting the efficiency of the system. He, however, said the corps is also taking measures to address the isssues.
“In tackling some of the observed challenges within the system, especially in the area of congestion of people waiting to be captured, we are creating additional 71 centres across the country to the existing 129,” he said.
The Corps Marshal added that a more efficient distribution system is being put in place in other to ensure that printed permanent licences did not remain at the motor licensing offices without their owners promptly claiming them.
