Lagos State Government has said there are plans to introduce
new number plate for commercial vehicles in the state.
Acting Commissioner for Transportation, Prince Olanrewaju
Elegushi, stated this during the 2017 Ministerial briefing to mark Governor
Akinwunmi Ambode’s two years in office.
Elegushi said it would ensure clear identification of
vehicles registered for commercial purposes.
“The state agencies like Motor Vehicle Administration
Agency, Number Plate Production Agency and ministry of transportation will
fine-tune the operations and issuance,” the Commissioner said.
Elegushi also explained that the development would bring a
robust database for vehicles involved in commercial transportation to ensure
safety of passengers.
He added that about 5,000 commercial buses would be injected
into the transport sector, while drivers and conductors will be given uniforms.
“There will be introduction of uniforms for drivers and
conductors to signpost a commencement of decency, discipline and quality
service to the people of Lagos State,” Elegushi said.
