Motorists in Lagos whose vehicle particulars have expired
have been advised to renew them to avoid delay and unnecessary
embarrassment that may arise from routine checks by the Police
and vehicle inspection officers (VIOs).
The advice was given by the permanent secretary, Lagos State
Motor Vehicle Administration Agency, Mr. Akin Hanson, during
a performance review meeting of the agency at Agidingbi in
Lagos.
He disclosed that information from the database of the agency
showed that over 80,000 motorists whose vehicle licences were
due for renewal between January and March this year, were
yet to do so.
Mr. Hanson reminded motorists that it is a punishable traffic
offence to put vehicles on the road without valid documents.
He stated that the government has continually made accessibility
to vehicle licence easy and fast as the product is obtainable
in more than 500 branches of the various banks and the 38
licensing offices across the state.
