The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has given notice that it will start enforcing the National Identification Number (NIN) directive on driver’s license processing nationwide, with effect from Dec. 21.
Mr Bisi Kazeem,
Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM), Corps Public Education Officer, announced this
in a statement released on Wednesday, December 16.
''Following the
Federal Government's directives on the harmonisation of citizens' data by
relevant agencies, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) had in compliance with
the directives earlier put members of the public on notice. As a follow up to
that, .FRSC Management has resolved that effective 21 December, 2020, all
applicants for the National Driver's Licence in Nigeria must present the
National Identification Number (NIN) from the @nimc_ng before they can be captured for any class of
the licences produced by the FRSC.'' a statement reads
According to Kazeem,
all driver's license applicants are, therefore, expected to present their
National Identification Number from the date, before they can be attended to,
adding that there would be no waiver for anyone.
Bisi further stressed
the need for a harmonized database on citizens' information which he said is
critical to resolving the challenges of identifying individuals to assist
security agencies in data collation and quick retrievals to address some of the
national security challenges.
