The Lagos State Government will no longer allow the use of vehicles with number plates from other states of the federation for commercial transportation in the state.
The Director, Vehicle Inspection Office, Mr, Gbolahan Toriola, said the measure was meant to achieve “sanity, standard, safety and security” as stipulated by the road traffic law.
He says this provision did not affect inter-state
vehicles carrying passenger from other state. Theyvare not expected
to pick or drop passengers at every bus stop. There are dedicated bus
stops and parks for inter-state vehicles.
Residents with private vehicles are also to
change to the state’s number plates to reflect the fact that they are
living in Lagos.
This is a standard procedure. As a matter of fact,
it you have lived in a state for about three months, you are no longer a
visitor and therefore you must change your number plate to reflect the
state. It is done in America and other developed nations.
