The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) is mulling new delivery guidelines for driver license, vehicles registration and international passport in new partnership with NIPOST.
The Corps Marshall, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, who declared this in Lagos, added that the new guidelines are expected to effectively transform the entire process and timeline in delivery of driver license and vehicle registration documents.
“We (FRSC) are putting it together with NIPOST because we feel this delivery system will be faster and cheaper,” he said on the sideline of a one-day stakeholders’ conference organised by PostMaster General of the Federation and Chief Executive Officer of Nigeria Postal Service in Lagos, adding “We are going to upload the guideline on our portal when they are ready.
Corroborating Oyeyemi’s view, the Post Master General of the Federation, Barrister Bisi Adegbuyi stated that this new guidelines were some of the outcomes of the mandate President Muhammagu Buhari gave him to reposition NIPOST.
“The journey of transformation has commenced. We are poised to reduce poverty and create wealth. With what we are doing, massive infrastructure will be repositioned. In another two years, there is not going to be any parastatal of government that will be richer than NIPOST,” he declared.
He continued; “Today marks yet another milestone in our determined efforts towards bridging the addressing gap in Nigeria and providing an efficient and effective addressing system that would be all inclusive taking into account the socio-economic indices and the security needs of our country amongst several other benefits and instituting a culture of excellent service delivery to our stakeholders using the latest technologies.
“It would be recalled that, prior to the intervention of the Federal Government in addressing policy, efforts by the local governments aimed at providing acceptable addressing system for the country could not yield the desired results as all attempts were fraught with inaccuracies and inefficiencies, especially looking at the way schools, houses, hospitals, markets among others are built and businesses moved from one location to another.
“This situation has however, continued to constitute a major challenge to the efficient delivery of mail and a stumbling block to our socio-economic growth and development.”
