FRSC to introduce digital driver’s licence

Must read

The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps(FRSC), Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, on Friday announced the corps’ plan to introduce digital driver’s licence in the country.

Oyeyemi, who announced the new initiative on Friday in Abuja at the 2021 strategy session of zonal commanding officers and sector commanders, said the objective of the project is to align with Federal Government’s quest to promote a digital economy.

According to him, the digital driver’s licence which will be optional, in the first instance, will eliminate the carrying of the physical card, thereby  reducing its theft and cut down the time of production.

He said that the digital licence would be accessible by the owners on any internet device when needed, adding that its  sensitisation would be sustained

Oyeyemi said that the corps would develop synergy with the relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to ensure that the National Identity project was successful.

The corps marshal said that  the National Identity Number (NIN)  was also compulsory for obtaining the Driver’s licence with the cooperation of the States Board of Internal Revenue Service (BIRs).

“As it has been announced earlier, without the NIN, no one can obtain the Nigerian Drivers Licence again.

“The corps will no longer transact business with an individual or group, without the new prescribed federal government identification regime,” he said.
