Lagos to Introduce Special License Plates For The Disabled

• The Lagos state government has revealed plans to introduce a new and special license plate.

• The plate is meant to be used by people with various disabilities in the state.

A new directive by the Lagos State government has revealed the creation of a new license plate.

According to the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the purpose of this is to be able to identify people with disabilities in the State.

He made this known while speaking at the a press briefing to mark his second year as governor of the state.

He added that the directive will be implemented by the Lagos State Number Plate Production Authority, under it’s Commissioner, Oluwaseun Osiyemi.

Sanwo-Olu said;

“The authority is also into the production of customised 716 fancy motor vehicle plates and 347 motorcycle fancy plates for vehicle owners on request,”

Speaking on the number of license plates available and produced by the agency,  Osiyemi said;

The authority issued 11,152 standard number plate replacements, 212 motorcycle plate replacements, and 63 standard fancy replacements to maintain accurate vehicle identification,”

“They also produced 428 official number plates, 1,510 dealer plates and 4,000 articulated vehicle plates.”

We should also understand that fading of the number plate is a function of the kind of material we use to wash our cars, which are very corrosive.

“We should also know that as man has a life span, so also are plate numbers; and they should be changed when the need arises,” he added.
