FRSC Reveals New Number Plate Deadline

-


Federal Road Safety Commission has reversed its decision to enforce a new number plate for every car in the country.
The Corps Marshall of the Federal Road Safety Commission, Mr. Boboye Oyeyemi, made this announcement during an interview with journalists when he paid a courtesy visit on Governor Theodore Orji at the Government House in Umuahia.
He said that the agency will no longer insist on any deadline for the enforcement of the new number plate.
He added that the agency would abide by the court ruling which restrained it from enforcing the proposal.
He explained that motorists who still had the old number plate would rather get the new ones when they go to renew their vehicle licences.
“We will abide by the court ruling. It was a case of double taxation to be compelled to have the new one if your licence has not expired. It is a phase approach. If your driving licence expires, you go and renew it. It is a 12-month cycle. There is no deadline again.
“That does not mean that if you carry a fake number plate or driving licence that you will not be prosecuted.

  Oil firm Royal Dutch Shell was told a pipeline had reached the end of its life years before it spilled up to 500,000 barrels of oil, according to court documents seen by the BBC. Two spills in 2008 affected about 35 sq miles (90 sq km) in southern Nigeria, according to a group suing Shell. The area included sensitive mangroves. Shell "dismisses the suggestion that it has knowingly continued to use a pipeline that is not safe to operate," it told the BBC . The emails, letters and internal reports submitted to a court in London show that senior Shell employees were concerned before the spill that Shell's pipelines in the area had reached the end of their lives and needed replacing to avoid danger to lives, the environment and the economy.
