Govt extends drivers’ licence expiration to 5 years

The Corps Marshal and Chief Executive Officer
of Federal Road Safety Corps – Boboye
Oyeyemi, has announced that the Federal
Government has approved the extension of the
validity period of Drivers licence to five years.
This decision was taken by the Joint Tax Board
at its 134th meeting held recently in Kano.
In a chat with Transport Editors in Lagos, the
Corps Marshal said rather than Drivers’ licence
expiring in three years , drivers now had the
option of settling for either three or five years
licence.
This however comes with different price tags.
Drivers who want the three years’ license are
to pay N6,000 while those who opted for the
five years’ licence would pay N10,000.00
