The revised rates aim to enhance the
quality and security features of these identification documents, in line with
international standards.
Under the new pricing structure,
Nigerians will now pay N15,000 for a three-year motor vehicle driver’s licence,
while a five-year licence will cost N21,000. Motorcycle and tricycle drivers
will face an increase as well, with a three-year licence priced at N7,000 and a
five-year licence at N11,000.
For vehicle number plates, the new
rates start at N30,000 for both standard private and commercial vehicle plates.
Fancy number plates will cost N400,000, while motorcycle plates are priced at
N12,000. Dealer vehicle number plates will be issued for N100,000.
The JTB has also adjusted prices for
government-issued number plates. Government fancy vehicle plates will now cost
N120,000, and standard plates will be N80,000. Motorcycle number plates for
government vehicles are set at N50,000 for fancy options and N20,000 for
standard.
According to the JTB, these
adjustments will introduce improved security features, aiding in the
identification process for both drivers and vehicles across the country.
Olusegun Adesokan, Secretary of the
JTB, emphasized the importance of public awareness and education regarding the
new rates. In a circular obtained by BusinessDay,
Adesokan stated, “The secretariat has requested that the FRSC [Federal Road
Safety Corps] notify the JTB of its public engagement and sensitisation plans.
We believe that a robust engagement will ensure a seamless implementation of
the revised rates.”
The FRSC is expected to spearhead the
public sensitisation campaign ahead of the November implementation.
