FG Sets Expiry Date for Driver’s Licence

By Correspondent

 The federal government has approved the production of another driver’s licence which will have a five-year expiry period. This was made known at a press conference by the Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Mr Boboye Oyeyemi. He added that the decision to have the five-year driver’s licence was taken by the Joint Tax Board at its 134th meeting held in Kano, which was presided over by the Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service, Babatunde Fowler. Before now, the driver’s licence had a three-year terminal date after which motorists were expected to renew the document. Oyeyemi, however, said the three-year driver’s licence would not be jettisoned, adding that it would exist side by side with the new one. He said, with the new five-year driving licence, motorists would have the option of going for that or the three-year licence. Quoting from a communiqué issued by the JTB after the meeting, the corps marshal said, ”˜The board has approved an optional validity period for driver’s licence of three and five years at different costs to provide more efficient an effective service delivery to its customers.’
