Wednesday, April 23, 2025 - The Lagos State Government has announced plans to introduce vehicle number plates to identify persons with disabilities in the state.
Speaking at the 2025 ministerial press briefing to mark the
second year of Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second term as governor on Tuesday, the
transportation commissioner, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said the Lagos State Number
Plate Production Authority will implement the scheme.
“The authority is also into the production of customised 716
fancy motor vehicle plates and 347 motorcycle fancy plates for vehicle owners
on request,” he said.
The commissioner added that LSNPPA produced 224
out-of-series number plates on special requests and unique numbering needs.
“The authority issued 11,152 standard number plate
replacements, 212 motorcycle plate replacements, and 63 standard fancy
replacements to maintain accurate vehicle identification,” he said.
“They also produced 428 official number plates, 1,510 dealer
plates and 4,000 articulated vehicle plates.”
Osiyemi said that the authority, in collaboration with the
Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), was developing initiatives that would lead to
the production of number plates that would align with the ’Go Green’
initiatives.
Regarding the fading of number plates, he said the state
used high-quality materials in their production.
“We should also understand that fading of the number plate
is a function of the kind of material we use to wash our cars, which are very
corrosive.
“We should also know that as man has a life span, so also are plate
numbers; and they should be changed when the need arises,” he said.
