WHITHER FRSC?

This piece is with reference to the enforcement of the use of the new driving license and number plates by the Federal Road Safety Corp. Plans have been concluded by the FRSC to force motorist out of the roads or have their vehicles impounded by 30th september 2013 who are non compliant. The question which the FRSC has not answered satisfactorily is the need for a change from the old plate number to the new since there is little or no difference. I dont know how they were able to later convince the national assembly to give assent after it vehemently opposed it! Is it a case of some powerful interests who stand to benefit from the exercise? Till date the FRSC has not been able to convince Nigerians the need for the change from the old to to the new. That is why their plan to clampdown on defaulting motorist should be vehemently resisted! It is undue harrasment on the part of the FRSC who cannot justify the need for such a change. The Consumer Right Project (CRP) is worthy of mention here as they have already intituted legal means to halt the move by the burden that we have as the FRSC presently.
