The Senate is set to move against what it described as unauthorized introduction of the Biometric Central Motor Registration (BCMR) scheme by the police. Its opposition to the new Police BCMR is based on the rejection of same by the Presidency on two occasions. Barring any change in plan, Chairman of the Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Senator Dahiru Awaisu Kuta, may, today, move a motion that will formally reject the BCMR.

The police recently commenced digital biometric registration which will capture the inventory of motorists and vehicles. Each motorist by the exercise, would pay N3,500 while tricycles, popularly called Keke NAPEP and motorbikes are to cough out N1,500 each.

The motion would seek the nod of the Senate to suspend the BCMR and to comply with its earlier resolution of 2012. Senate’s rejection of the BCMR may largely be influenced by its opposition a to similar move by the police during the Obasanjo administration in 2004 and the government of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in 2008.

The Obasanjo’s government’s committee headed by former Head of Service, Chief Ufot Ekaette, stated emphatically that existing laws do not empower the police to embark on the establishment of the ECMR.

After consultations, Obasanjo accepted the Ekaette recommendations on the ECMR, as it was then proposed and dropped.

The committee pointed out that the introduction of “the ECMR would amount to another form of tax” on hapless motorists and that there should be an enabling law to regulate its operations.

In 2008, another proposal was forwarded to Yar’Adua and another presidential committee chaired by former Interior Minister, Maj. Gen. Godwin Abbe (retd.) recommended that, “the DCMR was another attempt to re-introduce the ECMR project that had earlier been abandoned.”

The Abbe committee recommended that the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) should be allowed to continue with its statutory duties and also recommended that its “databank on vehicles and drivers be strengthened and financed. The scheme required consolidation rather than duplication of functions to enable the police and any other relevant agency access the data.”

Further checks indicate that the Kuta committee would remind the chamber that the Senate resolved vide S/Res/004/02/12 that “the police synergise its idea of biometric data collection and collaborate with respect of this with the FRSC who already have an existing data base and with who, they have always been relating with before now.”

Aside asking for the suspension of the exercise, another prayer being sought in the motion is for the Senate to condemn “the persistent insensitivity and disregard for directives of government by the Nigeria Police at various times.”

The police would be asked to suspend forthwith the digital BCMR scheme.

With the introduction of the new plate number you have to change your Vehicle license, Proof of ownership, Insurance etc. why GEJ no focus.

We take two step forward and five step backward in 9ja. God help us o

please, the Senate should stop that useless BCMR by the police that is about to extort us again like the FRSC is doing on the new number plates.

mtcheeew.

I'm so sure that this move is not been kicked against because they saw some flaws in it, rather, it is aimed at sabotaging the president's efforts because of the tension between them.

Every govt dept want to raise funds to the detriment of the common man. Thank God that the Senate is up to the task on this one.

you think everything is about GEJ right? Why don't you calm down and read the story before jumping into conclusions? The police tried doing this under OBJ and UMY but were turned down by the senate. Why? Simple! The law does not empower them to register vehicles!.. Is that to hard for you understand?

#Asope

But were they blind when it was about starting? No be them award am? Useless bunch of ingrates.

Brb

SB

If and only if the senate will stop it better

Can somebody give an estimate of the projected income?

Why don't we just have one central registration that caters for everthing.

Category 1
Votes registration
National ID Card (Version 1 & 2)

Category 2
WAEC
NECO
JAMB
University Post UME

Category 3
CAC
IRS
FIRS

Category 4
New Driving License
New Plate Number
Now Police Biometric

Category 5
Nearly every organization is saling scratchcards for registration.

What is the purpose? Just milk the poor masses as if tax is not enough.

Can't some of these registrations be merged? I tire o.

With the recent outcry of Nigerian masses, I know the BCMR will be dropped.
Police, Ntooo! !

Fresh Air

Don't forget that it was accepted initially, and besides why must it be now?

Plus another basic reason why I had to conclude like that was because of the comparison that was made between the previous leaders and the present.

Technically, it was aimed at discreditting GEJ... Logically though. Or what do you think?

Hmmm...dis is serious, bros abeg where do u come from?

this is new age technology to cup crime and we all know average big person here are indicted so let us encourage police to do there work,
Cmr regeration only cost not less than 1500 offical price but the agent collect 30000 and above from people ,to dicourage this act that is why the authority is introducing electronics registration that can be done with comfort any where, but the price should be minimal to what common man can afford and due date should be every year or above.
Also this we discourege having somany car.
may god lead us to better globalisation as the word turn to global village

ASUU why na? Una see wetin una don cause?

The basic problem is that after you do all these registration and you report to this Agencies about your vehicle been stolen, the police, FRSC ,VIO, will not yet be able to retrieve back your stolen car-All will be story-story once upon a time. With all the registration.

DIS GRAMMAR NA SWAGA.

Maybe they should focus on teaching the useless Police how to collect fingerprints, secure crime scenes and gather evidence in a proper manner.

ROFLMAO Oh my, that country just makes me laugh all the time. Uneducated, uninformed, and unenlightened as hell from top to bottom.

Son, what grade did you drop out of school?

kingoflag: Son, what grade did you drop out of school?

I SABI D DUDE,HE DIDNT GO TO SCH,PLS DNT TELL HIM DAT I TOLD U DIS.

The NPF should liaise with the FRSC & licensing offices to get data on motorists. The Police has a statutory duty to fight crime & shouldn't transfer their responsibility to the masses. If the previos ECMR was abolished, what is the need of the BMCR?

can the police and the FRSC should share the database together after all we pay alots of money to get the new plate number.

In this report the senate clearly blamed the police for proposing this BMCR which it had rejected on two previous occasions in two administrations. So why op come get bad belle just to blame Gej for this one again when its clear the police are just trying to generate revenue for themselves ? Its not good to be wicked o...

Two ways:

1.) Why cant they just support the other "Govt Agencies" who are already collecting similar Data ....AND SHARE SUCH DATA for their own use?
Why the Duplication? Why must all Govt Agencies see the public as a source of awoof money?

2.) If they must collect their own version of the same data, then DONT TASK THE PUBLIC FINANCIALLY FOR IT.

Its that simple except they have a "hidden Agenda".

As usual now
