Motorists in Lagos have lamented the difficulties in obtaining the new driver’s licence at the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) processing centres.

Some motorists, who spoke in Lagos, described the process as cumbersome, frustrating and slow.

They attributed the frustration experienced at the processing centres to inadequate biometrics machines for data capturing.

Most of the people who came to the centres for data capturing spend the whole day on queue.

A banker, Mr Kunle Akingbolade, said the process was stressful and frustrating.

CEOAFRICA news gathered that in some processing offices in Lagos, people start queuing as early as 6.00 a.m. for their applications.

Under such a situation people start jostling to cut corners and jump queues bringing stress to the poor and hapless citizens.

An engineer, Mr Amos Anjorin, said that he had been processing the licence since February and was yet to do data capture, due to system failure experienced whenever he was invited.

The motorists urged the FRSC to provide more bio-metrics machines at the centres to fast-track the data capturing process.

The Federal Government introduced the new licence for improved security and road safety.
