JTB had announced suspension of the June 30 deadline for motorists to change from the old to the new enhanced motor vehicle number plate and driver’s licence.

A statement by the Corps Public Education Officer, Mr Jonas Agwu, in Abuja, on Thursday, added that the enforcement had to be deferred in view of the separate court judgments from Lagos and Abuja.

Agwu said the commission had, therefore, directed its commanding officers to commence robust nationwide public awareness on the new initiative for motor vehicle administration in the country, emphasising on the benefits of the new scheme and the need for buy-in from all Nigerians.

FRSC further explained that the new directive was in line with the decisions taken by the JTB after its recent 129th meeting held at the headquarters of Edo State Internal Revenue Services in Benin.
