FRSC: NIN Compulsory For Vehicle Registration From April

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says it had made the
presentation of a valid national identification number (NIN)
compulsory for all categories of vehicle registration.

In a statement signed by Bisi Kazeem, its spokesman, on
Saturday, the FRSC said the requirement is in full compliance with
directives from the federal government on the harmonisation of
citizens’ data.

The agency announced the NIN requirement for the national
driver’s licence registration on December 21, 2020.

“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,” the statement read.

“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.

“It also helps in critical decision making and enhances adequate
intelligence gathering for the security of lives and property.”

“The FRSC Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi (pictured) has made
provision of NIN mandatory for all categories of vehicle
registration, effective from the second quarter of 2021. This is in
total compliance with the presidential directives.

“All applicants of vehicle registration are, therefore, expected
to present their NIN as a precondition for the registration of
their vehicles.

“And there will be no waivers for anyone, irrespective of their
status in the society.”

Kazeem urged members of the public, who had not enrolled in the
ongoing NIN registration, to hasten and do the needful because the
Corps had mandated that no vehicle would be registered whose owner
was not captured in the National Identity Management Commission
(NIMC) database.
