Patrick Okoyeocha, Sector Commander, Delta State, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), on Tuesday said that no fewer than 7,500 permanent driver’s licences were yet to be collected in the state.
Okoyeocha, in an interview, revealed that, as of July, the total number of unclaimed driver’s licences stood at 7,500.
He frowned at some motorists who processed their drivers' licence and never bothered to go back to the Motor Licencing Office to collect them.
“Drivers with temporary driver’s license should go to the Motor licensing Office where they had their biometric capturing and collect their permanent driver’s licence.
“The Command has intensified its public awareness drive on applicants of driver’s license to come and claim their licenses via Motor Parks, Churches, and Media Houses.
“There is also profound collaboration with the Delta State Board of Internal Revenue to also intensify public awareness in that direction,” he said.
Okoyeocha added that possession of a valid licence was still a major requirement for driving in the country.
He warned that absence of it constitutes traffic infraction and endangered the lives of road users.
I am a diligent, innovative, and detail-oriented individual, who thrives in dynamic environments.
