In the same vein, the Commission had during the meeting, equally reviewed the first and second quarter performances of the National Drivers License Identity Management and Card Production System and pledged its determination towards enhancing the system and making the processes for the acquisition of the National Drivers License easier for all applicants irrespective of their locations nationwide.
According to him, to enhance the general performance of the system, the Corps is keen on providing Mobile Drivers License Work Stations across the country. This move is geared towards entrenching ease of doing business, encourage patronage, and ensure the eradication of encumbrances encountered by applicants especially in remote areas.
The spokesperson also quoted the Corps marshal affirming that with the existence of the present Mobile Work Stations across the country, it is apparent that the demands of applicants within rural areas where there are no capture centres will be met and the challenges they often encounter completely eradicated.
