Edo State Internal Revenue (EIRS) says it has taken delivery of number plates from Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), thus ending its long months of scarcity in the state.
Head, Corporate Communications unit of EIRS, Mr Egboigbe Courage, said this in a statement made available to newsmen on Friday in Benin.
He said that the receipt of the number plates was part of the organisation’s mandate to render value-added services to members of the public.
According to Courage, the number plates are available at its corporate headquarters in Benin and its branch offices across the state.
“EIRS regrets the inconveniences caused by the non-availability of number plates, which was due to the turn-around maintenance carried out at the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) production plants across the country,” he said.
Courage urged all vehicle, tricycle and motorcycle owners to get their expired vehicle documentation or particulars validated, as driving with expired vehicle particulars was a contravention of the extant road traffic laws.
“For further enquiries and complaints, motorists and number plate applicants should contact EIRS on 0813 097 0146, 0809 203 8444, visit www.eirs.gov.ng or send e-mail to [email protected].,” he said.
