The Lagos State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Mr Hyginus Omeje, has disclosed that the command would soon embark on ‘Operation Show Your Driving Licence’ in the state.
Omeje stated this on Saturday, March 3, during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He urged the owners of the licences to collect them. He added that the corps would embark on the mission across all units of the command.
Omeje frowned at the attitude of some road users driving without valid licences saying that such licences remained the only certification to drive on the road.
According to him, the fine for driving without a valid licence is N10,000 and the offender must produce the licence within 24 hours.
Omeje said that if after 24 hours such offender could not produce a valid licence, the vehicle of such offender would be impounded.
He said that in such situation, it would be assumed that the driver was not licensed to drive.
Omeje said that the corps was not interested in the fines or depriving anyone the comfort of his vehicle, but advised motorists to do the right thing and be safety conscious.
