The Lagos State Motor Vehicle Administration Agency (MVAA) has
announced a new validity period of five years for the National Drivers’
Licence, noting however that the choice is optional.
The General
Manager of the Agency, Mr. Lateef Lawal, who disclosed this today, said
the decision was taken at the 134th meeting of the Federal Road Safety
Commission’s Joint Tax Board in order to ease off the renewal/reissue
process of the driver’s licence.
Speaking further, the General
Manager lauded the initiative and maintained that with the new feature,
applicants have the opportunity to either select the option of three or
five year validity period, adding that applicants who are unable to
complete the processing within a specific time now have an extended
period for renewing the licence.
While
emphasising that this initiative is also aimed at improving on service
delivery and ensuring that the service is readily available to all
applicants, Lawal affirmed that processing fees remain at N6,350 for the
three-year period and N10,350 for five year option, inclusive of bank
charges.
The General Manager however urged intending applicants to
patronise only accredited driving schools following which an
e-certificate will be issued to commence the process of obtaining a
driver’s licence.
