The
Federal Road Safety Corps has said the cost of driving licence remains N6,350
and does not expect any driver to pay more than the amount to obtain any
licence whose expiry period is three years.
It
said no price increase had been announced, adding that a five-year duration was
only added to the three-year driving licence with a cost of N10,350 to give
motorists a new option.
The
Corps Marshal/Chief Executive Officer, FRSC, Mr. Boboye Oyeyemi, gave the
indication while speaking at a workshop in Lagos and warned motorists not to
patronise touts.
He
described the action of driving with a fake driving license as a serious
offence.
“We
have not increased the cost of processing the driving license. It remains
N6,350. What we have done is to give people the option of taking either for
three years or five years. The five-year driving license is available at
N10,350,” he said.
Oyeyemi
also said the corps would come hard on violators of speed limit, noting that
accident rate attributed to the factor was on the increase.
