The Federal Road Safety Commission in Rivers State says it will impound vehicles without the new number plates at the expiration of its October 1 deadline.

The Sector Commander, Dr. Kayode Olagunju, announced this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Port Harcourt on Thursday.

Olagunju said the enforcement would begin as scheduled if the Federal Government did not extend the deadline.

He said the use of old number plate and driving licence was partly responsible for the high rate of road traffic offences.

The sector commander added that the situation had made it difficult for road safety officials to track down offenders.

Olagunju said, “The present number plate and driving licence is meant to enhance the credibility of data and it will enhance safety of lives on the highways and assist in the area of security.

“The plate is highly reflective and which means the issue of collision (accident) at night is tackled.

“The present number plate is attached to individual rather than vehicles and which means that if I’m going to sell my vehicle now, I’m not expected to sell my vehicle with my number plate.

“When people know that when they commit traffic offences and they can be easily traced due to the number plate system, definitely, the rate of traffic offences will be on the decline.”

Our leaders just wasting money on senseless allocations, same tin about changin the currency to paper, shey na ego be the next trend on line now?? What of social amenities, wat security, wat of corruption?? All na means of looting money sha.... NIgeria what iz da way foward??

Na wa for this goodluck government no mercy at all inflicting hardship on Nigerians imaging every vehicle owner have to cought out N45,000 within a month. We are yet to recover from subsidy removal now it is new plate number. It is now time to rise up and chase this experimental governmental away. They don't know what they are doing at all well we shall survive.

So its attschd to me and isell my car, do i have to get a new one?

Shuo!

These clowns have refused to issue my drivers license for no reason and they want to begin enforcement when they are not performing as expected?

When they impound all vehicles without the new number plates in Nigeria then I will know if all there station can contain it. can't they see the writing on the wall. This is a failed project. Some folks will need to sell their vehicle in other to buy the plate number. Even the drivers license is unobtainable.
