For a country that will be contending with fuel subsidy removal, increase electricity bill and others in 2012, FRSC is rushing forward to implement a policy that will snatch NGN21, 000 from certified and qualified driver who own a vehicle. They said It is even costlier for higher grades of vehicles.

Also, the process involved in acquiring new driver’s license is just cumbersome. One has to fillin the accreditation identification on the web page, paying to a bank, visiting the Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO) for signature on the form, driving tests at the VIO’s office, passing which you go to the FRSC office for physical capture. If you pass you get a temporary license for 15 to 30 days then you visit the VIO’s office to collect the new license.

In my honest opinion, it's about time. Those processes are very welcome, and is similar to the process of acquiring licenses in other developed countries. The only issue might be the cost of acquiring the license, I think it's a bit steep, for the average wage slave, IMO. Besides that, I welcome this development, it will definitely bring order and improve safety on our roads.

How?

A good majority of drivers on Nigerian roads are not qualified drivers. Considering that they'll examine every license holder before issuing the card, we should begin to see improved driving coordination on our roads.

They will? Are u sure?

Frsc has every right to introduce any good measure that will improved the already battered image on our roads, but does have right to impose any unnecessary charges on motorists as in case of New Drivers License, which average Nigerians consider to be too expensive to obtain.
