FRSC use of technology excites Jonathan as he renews driving licence

Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday June 9 expressed satisfaction with the services of the Federal Road Safety Corps, stating that the agency had remained very focused and highly effective in the deployment of technology in the work place.

A statement by the Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, stated that the former President made the remarks at the national headquarters of the FRSC when he visited to renew his expired national driving licence.

The former President who watched the services offered at the driver’s licence capture centre was quoted as saying, “I am impressed with what I have seen and I am happy that this agency is functioning optimally, very focused and highly effective. I am always proud of the deployment of technology and I believe the Corps has key role to play in arresting the security situation in the country.”

Speaking on the reason he had to come personally for the capture, Jonathan said that there was no more shortcut in the process for the acquisition of the National Driver’s Licence, and it could not be done by proxy any longer due to the effective deployment of technology in the entire process.

The former President was received by the Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, who led him on a tour of some of the critical operations, information and communication technology facilities domiciled at the headquarters of the Corps.

Part of the facilities visited include the emergency call centre (122), the monitoring and control room, and other vital national infrastructure domiciled at the headquarters.
