Vehicle Roadworthiness Certificates Is Not A Revenue Generation Drive – Lagos government

The Lagos State government has stated that the newly implemented ‘no-vehicle inspection, no roadworthiness’ policy is not intended to generate revenue for the state.
This is in response to the state’s appeal to car owners to bring their vehicles because the cost of inspection is already included in the total package they paid for the renewal of vehicle particulars.
According to a statement issued by the state government, the Director, Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS), Engr. Akin-George Fashola, said this during a radio program.
He claims that the old method of issuing a roadworthiness certificate and then expecting vehicle owners to bring their vehicles in for inspection within 30 days is no longer viable because most people do not bring their vehicles in for inspection once the certificate is issued.

“The referral note we give you when you come to us is only for a grace period of 30 days during which we expect you to have checked and repaired the vehicle.”
“The referral note does not imply automatic clearance,” the Director explained.
Fashola went on to say that the Vehicle Inspection Service is expanding its capacity to accommodate more vehicles through the 27 fully-equipped centers it already has, with 30 more on the way to cover the 57 Local Governments.
He also mentioned that a Mobile Testing Center is available for businesses and owners of large fleets of vehicles.
“You can go to any center along the length and breadth of the state,” he said.
Even if you do your first inspection on the mainland and your second inspection on the island, there will be no problem because they are all linked up.”
