‘FRSC Does Not Collect Money For Vehicle Particulars, Licences’
The Rivers State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps(FRSC), Mr Christopher Kuje, has stated that the agency does not collect money from members of the public for vehicle particulars and licences.
Kuje, who made the clarification while briefing newsmen in Port Harcourt said his sector does not engage itself in the collection of money for the processing of vehicle particulars and licences of motorists and other members of the public.
While urging members of the public to discountenance claims and false allegations that the agency collects money for processing vehicle particulars and licences, the Sector Commander said the core responsibility of his sector is designing vehicle licences and printing.
Kuje, therefore, advised members of the public seeking vehicle particulars and licences to ensure that only his officers on uniforms attend to them, stressing that very stiff penalties are often meted out to FRSC officers and men found culpable.
He said his sector has always discharged its responsibilities in accordance with its professional ethics as well as delivered on its core mandate without blemish.
Kuje further indicated that FRSC has nothing to do with the collection of money to process vehicle particulars and licences for members of the public, insisting, however, that there exists a tripartite agreement between the agency, the Rivers State Board of Internal Revenue and the Vehicle Inspection Office(VIO) on matters relating to procurement of vehicle particulars and licences.
“We work together to achieve a common purpose. We are not interested in collecting money. “We don’t collect money and we don’t have area boys working with us. It is not true that we have bad boys working for us.We advise members of the public not to give money to area boys or anyone not on FRSC uniforms”, he said.
He also urged members of the public to ensure that they transact businesses with only FRSC officers on uniforms and not to give money to such officers, as “collecting money is not our responsibility”.
Kuje reassured members of the public that his sector would continue to maintain and keep to its ethical standards in serving them, and urged them to keep faith with the federal agency.
