The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has distanced itself from any partnership with the Wazobia Conflict Resolution and Peace Initiative (WACORPAI) on the issuance of “Peace Ambassador” number plates.

This is contained in a statement issued on Thursday by the Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide.

The FRSC noted that the public should be aware that the announcement issued by WACORPAI informing its members of an existing partnership with the Federal Road Safety Corps is outrightly baseless and false.

“This is because Federal Government Number Plates are only issued to Ministries, Departments and Agencies not individuals irrespective of their affiliations.

“To this end, the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed wishes to for the umpteenth time reiterate the position of the Corps on the use of Peace Ambassador number plate as illegal and anyone apprehended using same will be liable”.

The general public is by this notice urged to desist henceforth from patronizing producers of those fake and illegal number plates. Members of the Association who are presently using the number plates should take them off to avoid arrest while those intending to purchase same are equally advised to discontinue.
