Kano The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says no fewer than 1,556 processed and valid drivers’ licences are yet to be claimed by their applicants in Kano State.
The FRSC Public Relations , in Kano State, Mr Abdullahi Labaran , disclosed in exclusive interview with the Newsworth on Sunday .
Labaran , deplored the careless attitude of motorists in the state to safety on the road.
He said that with the level of exposure of people in the state, it was bewildering that motorists refused to collect their processed and valid driver’s licence.
He explained said that some of the unclaimed driver’s licences had been at the state’s Board of Internal Revenue office for over years now.
” We will ensure that only duly tested and procedural examined drivers ply our roads to ensure safety of all road users ,’’ he said.
On the ongoing “Operation Show Your Valid Driver’s Licence’’, the Public Relations Officer said that the ongoing operation and weekly mobile court sitting had been hitch-free and yielding positive fruit.
” We discovered that some driver’s licences had expired for between two and four years running and these drivers have been evading fines and prosecution.
” While we impound the defaulting driver’s vehicle until the driver were given public enlightenment and advised to go through the driving licence issuance processes and procedures as stipulated and gets a fresh driver’s licence,’’ he said(
