She stressed that professional drivers that needed to renew their LASDRI recertification card can conduct their training on-line and print a temporary recertification certificate at www.new.lasdri.org.

“Professional Drivers can now access and conduct their mandatory training in the comfort of their home through our on-line platform.

After going through the training, a temporary recertification card will be issued to them immediately, they are to print it and take it to the nearest Centre or Annex of the Institute to get their permanent recertification card.” She explained.

She added that part of obligations required to be fulfilled by any trainee driver is that she/he must have obtained a valid Drivers’ License and that the LASDRI Recertification Card is not a substitute for a valid Drivers’ License.

Tiamiyu said  the institute would be opening a new annex soon at Task Force Office, Bolade, Oshodi, to further decongest the number of trainee drivers attending the Ikeja centre of the Institute.
