FRSC Begins ‘Operation Show Your Driver’s Licence,’ Defaulters To Pay N10,000 Fine

The Lagos sector command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) is set to commence ‘Operation Show Your Driver’s Licence’ in the state from November 4, 2019.

The acting sector public education officer of the command, Olabisi Sonusi, disclosed this on Thursday.

Sonusi said the move was aimed at enforcing the collection of abandoned licences in its offices by motorists in the state.

The spokesperson quoted the Sector Commander, Hyginus Omeje, as saying the exercise will last for two weeks and would attract N10, 000 for defaulters.

“The special patrol is aimed at addressing the high incidences of driving without valid driver’s licence in Lagos.

“It will last for two weeks as most motorists who applied for driver’s licences never cared to collect them.

“Consequently, we have a total of 61, 221 uncollected permanent driver’s licences across the state offices,’’ Omeje said.
