Following recent decision of the Federal Government to commence implementation of the new rates forvehicle number plates and drivers licence across the country,The Guardian learnt that the decision to increase the cost was taken at the 147th meeting of the JTB, held in Kaduna on March 25.
Out of series number plate has also been revised to N50, 000 from N40, 000, while government fancy number plate is N20, 000 against the former N15, 000 rate. Chief Executive officer, Absolute PR Ltd, Akonte Ekine, said it was a wrong move by the government. He said it should not have been implemented now because the cost of things has gone up and inflation is on the rise. He said: “ The economy is in a bad state from National Bureau of statistics prices of food is on the rise.
“ I am pleading with the Federal Government not to think of the increase because we will not like to go on strike.” ‘The government does things in this country because nobody asks questions and those who ask are intimidated. The fact is that if I want to replace my number plate now, I will have to change my insurance cover N5, 000, my road worthiness N3, 000 etc. Everything in this country is expensive even the fresh air we breathe.
