The Joint Tax Board has approved an upward review of the rates of the National Drivers License and Vehicle Number Plates to enhance the seamless production process and improve quality service to the motoring public.
According to a statement issued by ACM Olusegun Ogungbemide, Corps Public Education Officer , Federal Road Safety Corps, on Tuesday in Abuja, the resolution was reached at the end of the 155th Joint Tax Board (JTB) Appraisal and Technical Committee Meeting held on September 10, 2024.
Ogungbemide explained that the reviewed rates were necessitated by the increased cost of production. However, he assured that the new price regime will enhance a seamless production process and also improve service delivery to the public.
The statement read in part: “You would recall that most of the materials used in the production of both number plates and drivers licence are sourced outside the shores of the country, and the prices of those materials have risen astronomically since the last review conducted by the JTB in 2021 when the exchange rate was 411.63 naira to 1 dollar.
