FRSC Launches Lagos Driver’s Licence Print Farm with Capacity to Produce 9,000 Cards in Six Hours.

In a significant move to address the backlog of driver’s licence applications and improve service delivery, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has inaugurated a mini driver’s licence printing farm in Lagos State. The newly established facility boasts an impressive production capacity of 9,000 licences within six hours, or approximately 1,800 licences per hour.

The initiative, which was unveiled as part of the agency’s 37th-anniversary celebration, is expected to alleviate the prolonged waiting period experienced by motorists and resolve the pending backlog of 270,000 driver’s licence applications across the region.

A Milestone in Service Delivery

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed, who was represented by Assistant Corps Marshal Godwin Omiko from the Motor Vehicle Administration Unit in Abuja, emphasized the importance of the new facility in enhancing operational efficiency. According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Mohammed highlighted that the printing farm will play a pivotal role in streamlining the driver’s licence issuance process and ensuring applicants receive their licences without unnecessary delays.

“The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), in commemoration of the 37th anniversary of its inception, has activated a mini driver’s licence printing farm in Lagos State,” Mohammed announced during the ceremony. “This initiative is designed to reduce the hardship experienced by motorists in acquiring their driver’s licences and to clear the existing backlog swiftly.”

The Corps Marshal further elaborated that the facility’s advanced printing capabilities will allow for rapid processing, ensuring that eligible applicants receive their driver’s licences promptly after completing the necessary procedures.

A Solution to Long-Standing Challenges

The newly established Lagos print farm is expected to significantly reduce the time lag previously encountered by Lagos residents. Prior to this development, all driver’s licence printing was centralized in Abuja, causing delays and inconvenience for applicants in the South-West region. With the activation of the Lagos print farm, driver’s licence issuance is expected to become more localized and efficient.

“It is our expectation that this centre will serve all applicants from the South-West region,” Mohammed stated, underscoring the agency’s commitment to decentralizing services and improving public access to essential documentation.

The FRSC acknowledged that the driver’s licence database would continue to be maintained in Abuja but assured applicants that the new Lagos facility would handle local printing to accelerate the process. This decentralization effort is aimed at addressing long-standing complaints from motorists regarding delayed issuance and prolonged waiting times.

Government Support and Stakeholder Commendation

The Lagos State Government has expressed strong support for the new facility, recognizing its potential to transform the driver’s licence acquisition process. Mr. Abdul Rasheed Muri-Okunola, the Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Motor Vehicle Administration Agency, lauded the FRSC for establishing the print farm and emphasized its significance in addressing logistical challenges.

“We commend the Federal Road Safety Corps for this forward-thinking initiative,” Muri-Okunola remarked. “With the establishment of this farm, the era of waiting for Abuja to process and send Lagos driver’s licences will soon become a thing of the past.”

Muri-Okunola further noted that the local printing farm aligns with the Lagos State Government’s broader objective to improve service delivery and enhance the overall experience for residents seeking official documentation.

A Commitment to Improved Service Delivery

In addition to reducing the backlog and facilitating faster licence issuance, the FRSC reiterated its dedication to improving public service delivery. The agency urged all applicants with pending driver’s licence applications to seize the opportunity to collect their licences promptly, as the new facility is fully operational and capable of handling high volumes efficiently.

“We are committed to providing efficient and timely services to all motorists,” the Corps Marshal affirmed. “The Lagos print farm represents a major step forward in achieving this goal and ensuring that applicants no longer face unnecessary delays.”

The FRSC also assured the public that it would continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its processes and address the evolving needs of Nigerian motorists. The establishment of the Lagos driver’s licence print farm is seen as a critical step in the agency’s broader strategy to enhance service delivery nationwide.

As the FRSC marks its 37th anniversary, the activation of the Lagos print farm serves as a testament to its ongoing efforts to modernize operations and provide timely, efficient services to the public.
