‘NIN’ to become compulsory for vehicle registration from second quarter of 2021- FRSC tells Nigerians


Management of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has said that beginning from the second quarter of 2021, the National Identity Number (NIN) will become compulsory whenever anyone is applying for vehicle registration.
The directive was given by FRSC Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem in a press release.
According to the directive all applicants of vehicle registration will be expected to present their National Identification Number as a precondition for the registration of their vehicles, adding that there would be no waiver for anyone irrespective of their status in the society.
EDITOR’S PICKS FOR YOU TO READ:
The exercise has become very imperative seeing the critical role a harmonized database on citizens’ information will have on national development in terms of resolving the challenges of identifying individuals to assist security agencies in data collation and speedy retrievals to address critical national security challenges.
Kazeem appealed to members of the public who have not enrolled in the ongoing NIN registration at the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to make haste while the sun shines as the Corps will not register any vehicle whose owner is not captured in the NIMC database.
“Beginning from the second quarter of this year (2021), If you want to register your vehicle, it is going to be compulsory for you to provide your NIN. This is part of the security checks. So once you provide your NIN, it makes the matter easier and helps the government in national planning, critical decision making and also enhance adequate Intelligence gathering for security of lives and properties” he said.
FRSC earlier mandated that all applicants for the National Driver’s Licence in Nigeria must present the National Identification Number (NIN) from the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) before they can be captured for any class of the licences produced by the FRSC.
