The Federal Road Safety Corps FRSC, has dispatched 19,560 pairs of motor vehicle number plates to the Federal Capital Territory in October amid complaints by motorists over delays in obtaining the plates.

The corps said the plates were delivered to the Directorate of Road Traffic Services in two batches on October 8 and 20, 2026, as part of efforts to ensure availability for vehicle registration and identification.

The Corps Public Education Officer, Osondu Ohaeri, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, explaining that the figures were released to provide transparency on the production and distribution of number plates.

According to him, the first batch comprised 15,205 pairs, including 15,169 pairs of private vehicle number plates, 32 pairs of private fancy plates and four pairs of out-of-series plates.

He said the second batch consisted of 4,355 pairs, comprising 1,998 pairs of private vehicle plates, 999 pairs of commercial vehicle plates, eight pairs of city government plates, 900 pairs of dealer plates and 450 pairs of articulated vehicle plates.

Ohaeri, however, acknowledged that motorists could still experience delays in collecting their number plates after completing the necessary registration procedures.

He explained that dispatching plates to registration authorities was different from issuing them to applicants, noting that the process required effective coordination among the institutions responsible for vehicle registration.

“The availability of number plates at the point of dispatch is an important component of this process, while timely issuance to applicants requires effective coordination among the institutions responsible for the different stages of vehicle registration,” the statement said.

The corps said it was working with relevant government institutions, including state motor licensing authorities, to address operational bottlenecks and improve service delivery.

The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, reiterated the agency’s commitment to promoting efficiency and accountability in the vehicle registration process through sustained engagement with stakeholders.

He advised motorists experiencing delays in collecting their number plates to seek clarification from the appropriate registration authorities.
