FRSC Denies Partnership With WACORPAI On Issuance Of “Peace Ambassador” Number Plates

FRSC denies partnership with Wazobia Conflict Resolution and Peace Initiative on the issuance of “Peace Ambassador” number plates.

Says FG Number Plates are only issued to Ministries, Departments and Agencies, not individuals irrespective of their affiliations.

Urged members WACORPAI presently using the “Peace Ambassador” number plates should take them off to avoid arrest.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has issued a disclaimer, dissociating itself from any partnership with a group called Wazobia Conflict Resolution and Peace Initiative (WACORPAI) regarding the issuance of “Peace Ambassador” number plates.

In a statement on Wednesday, FRSC stated that Federal Government Number Plates are only issued to Ministries, Departments and Agencies, and not by individuals irrespective of their affiliations.

“The Federal Road Safety Corps wishes to strongly issue a disclaimer, dissociating itself in totality from any form of partnership on issuance of ‘Peace Ambassador’ number plates, as purportedly claimed by a certain group called Wazobia Conflict Resolution and Peace Initiative (WACORPAI).”

“The public is to 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.”
