Greetings,

I have a vehicle with a Lagos plate. I reside in Abeokuta, Ogun State. I drove to Lagos in January and I was flagged by the PayVIS system and summoned to pay a bill of NGN 20,000. I was informed that the bill was for invalid roadworthiness.

This of course drove me crazy because I have a valid roadworthiness certificate from Ogun state and I was wondering what was going on how can they say my roadworthiness certificate is invalid.

I did some research online and learned about the VIO and Lagos inspection of vehicles for roadworthiness.
It confused me the more, to be honest.

one of my questions now is, does it mean roadworthiness certificate is no longer federal?
What is going on?
I thought if you have a roadworthiness certificate from any auto licensing state it is valid across the country.
Why is Lagos different?

I am pissed as you can see from this writing. NGN 20,000 is no chicken change.
After much consideration, I would have to make the payment since no matter the choice I decide to make it would actually even cost me more than NGN 20,000. I think they know this as well. I have disputed the bill since January and it has been pending to this day. My outrage rose from the fact that I just visited the payvis.ng site now and it says my bill is blacklisted.

I would have to change my plate from Lagos to Ogun after making the NGN 20,000 payment since I only come to Lagos at most 5 times a year but I would very much like to be sure that if my plate is now Ogun. It would no longer be flagged by PayVIS for an invalid roadworthiness certificate even and especially when I have a valid roadworthiness certificate from Ogun state.

If you know more information on this please enlighten me. I have read so many blog posts but they all seem to just say there is a PayVIS in Lagos with no proper rules as it pertains to visitors of Lagos state and drivers with roadworthiness certificates from other states.

This is not acceptable in my eyes, we the citizens of Nigeria should at least be warned of the rules and regulations like these before being charged and things like this cannot just make our lives unnecessarily difficult.

I think it is required you get a valid Lagos Road Worthiness certificate only from Lagos since your vehicle license is registered in Lagos.

If your number plate is Ogun or any other states apart fom Lagos, the Lagos VIS system should not be able to capture you except the (two) states have been integrated.

Meanwhile, that Lagos traffic offense capturing system is a welcome idea to deter traffic offenders. Cameras should be installed in all traffic light junctions.

By law, you should be able to perform road worthiness inspection of your vehicle in any state in Nigeria. It is a federal parastatal. It is not domiciled in lagos.

This is one stupidity taken too far by Lagos state government.

I hope you haven't paid the 20k Sha, don't pay it yet, you will have to go to ojodu VIS headquarters with the road worthiness certificate, the bill will be cleared for you . At no cost. You don't need to change the number plate, for further information you can check my signature for contact

Thank you

Are you saying it is a must to get roadworthiness from Lagos because of PayVIS?
If yes: it means the roadworthiness certificate is not federal.

Also, does it mean if I get Ogun plates and I come to Lagos, the PayVIS would not scan my vehicle?

Please we need more input on this .

1. Payvis is a payment platform for Lagos State vis(vio).
2. It only captures Lagos State plate numbers.
3. It doesn't capture number plates from other states.
3. It bills Lagos number plates carrying expired or non Lagos road worthiness
4. It also bills expired vehicle license and Insurance.
5. It captures Lagos plate numbers with other state road worthiness certificate, in this case you can contest the bill with proof of existing road worthiness from other state( you can't contest on online, you have to go to the Lagos VIS office at Ojodu to do that.

ANY other information you need just send me a message. Check my profile for contact
