NANS Collaborates with FRSC to Resolve Number Plate Issues


The leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and senior officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) recently held a pivotal meeting to address concerns regarding the seizure of vehicles with number plates registered under Nigerian students.
During the high-level meeting, which included the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, along with several senior FRSC directors, both parties engaged in constructive discussions that led to significant resolutions.
A mutual understanding was reached, with the FRSC agreeing to put an end to any form of harassment targeting students over plate number-related matters.
The command provided detailed explanations on the objectives behind the ongoing enforcement operation, while the discussion also emphasized the importance of a more transparent and collaborative approach to law enforcement.
FRSC Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed assured NANS of improved cooperation going forward, reiterating the Corps’ dedication to fair and professional road safety enforcement without subjecting students to unnecessary harassment.
In response, NANS President Comrade Lucky Emonefe, speaking on behalf of the association, committed to supporting the FRSC in its activities, particularly in raising road safety awareness among students and young drivers throughout Nigeria.
Additionally, NANS expressed appreciation for the FRSC’s unwavering efforts in promoting road safety and minimizing accidents on Nigerian highways.
“We recognize the critical role the Corps plays in enforcing traffic regulations and protecting lives, and we urge all Nigerian students to support initiatives that promote safer roads for all.”
“This development marks the beginning of a stronger partnership between NANS and FRSC, with a shared commitment to fostering mutual understanding and enhancing student awareness of road safety regulations.”
“As representatives of the student constituency, we are committed to ensuring that no student is subjected to undue intimidation or harassment under the guise of enforcement.”
“We urge all Nigerian students to remain law-abiding and engage constructively with authorities when necessary. NANS will continue to serve as a bridge between students and relevant institutions, advocating for policies that protect student rights while promoting responsible civic conduct.”
