(SINL NIGERIA) The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has issued a disclaimer, dissociating itself in totality from any form of partnership on issuance of ‘Peace Ambassador’ number plates, as purportedly claimed by a certain group called Wazobia Conflict Resolution and Peace Initiative (WACORPAI).
A statement on Wednesday by Olusegun Ogungbemide,
Assistant Corps Marshal,
Corps Public Education Officer recalled announcement issued by WACORPAI informing its members of an existing partnership with the Federal Road Safety Corps, saying it is outrightly baseless and false.
“This is because Federal Government Number Plates are only issued to Ministries, Departments and Agencies not individuals irrespective of their affiliations”.
“To this end, the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed wishes to for the umpteenth time reiterate the position of the Corps on the use of Peace Ambassador number plate as illegal and anyone apprehended using same will be liable.
“The general public is by this notice urged to desist henceforth from patronizing producers of those fake and illegal number plates. Members of the Association who are presently using the number plates should take them off to avoid arrest while those intending to purchase same are equally advised to discontinue”.
