Agency to collaborate with ICPC on drivers' licences

The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) is collaborating with the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC).

Nigerian driver's license

According to Bisi Kazeem, the Head of Media Relations and Strategy of the FRSC, the goal of this partnership is to prevent corrupt practices in the issuance of the National Driver’s Licence, The Eagle Online reports.

In Kazeem's press release, the Chairman of the ICPC, Ekpo Nta, stressed the significance of this document and this partnership.

"Nigerian Driver’s licence has reciprocal status with other foreign countries. It will therefore, embarrass the country if fake licences are allowed to be presented to reciprocal countries as the genuine licences produced in the country.The Driver’s Licence is also an identity document that many people rely on to transact business. We would, therefore, work with the FRSC to ensure that those that engage in parallel production or tout in the documents are identified and punished", he stated.

The FRSC Marshal, Boboye Oyeyemi, thanked Nta for working with the agency.

Oyeyemi advised Nigerians to stop relying on touts and third parties for their licenses, adding that these people have ridiculously high prices.

He urged people to get their licences through the right channels, for the fixed price of N6,350.
