The Federal Road Safety Corps has made the provision of the
National Identification Number compulsory for all categories of vehicle
registration.
FRSC Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, made this known in a
statement on Saturday.
Boboye said effective from the second quarter of 2021,
applicants for vehicle registration would be required to provide their NIN
before their vehicles would be registered, adding that the move was is in total
compliance with presidential directives.
Oyeyemi said, “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 the security of lives and
properties.”
The FRSC had mandated all applicants of the National
Driver’s Licence in the country to present their National Identification Number
before they could be captured for any class of the licences produced by the
FRSC.
The Federal Government through the Nigerian Communication Commission ordered telecommunications companies to deactivate telephone lines of subscribers who failed to link their phones to their National Identity Number.
The government also said telcos subscribers with NIN have
January 19 as deadline to link their NIN with their SIM cards while subscribers
without NIN have until February 9 to do so.
