The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says it produced 73,740 national driver’s licences in two weeks.

In a statement on Wednesday, Olusegun Ogungbemide, spokesperson of the corps, said 84,500 driver’s licences are in queue for production.

Ogungbemide said Shehu Mohammed, FRSC corps marshal, has constituted a task force to ensure that the backlog is cleared as soon as possible.

“Owing to the strategic intervention mechanisms introduced towards clearing the backlogs of the National Drivers License (NDL) by the Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Shehu Mohammed, the National Drivers License Print Farm has produced 73,740 licenses in two weeks,” the statement reads.

“The CM directed 24-hour production and immediate rectification of the identified technical glitches that affected the overall production capacity of the farm.

“As of the moment, a total of 84,500 NDLs are in queue for production and expected to be delivered to the respective state licencing authorities nationwide.

“Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed, while assuring the public of the corps’ commitment to quality service, called on applicants, especially those who have experienced delay, to await notification or contact their state licensing offices for pickup of the already produced ones.”
