Kogi State Internal Revenue Service (KGIRS) has sought the collaboration of the State Command of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) on the implementation of National Traffic Law on drivers badge, conductors badges and commercial vehicle colour exceptional permit.
Speaking at a sensitization and awareness meeting with FRSC Officials and other stakeholders in Lokoja on Wednesday, Technical Partner to KGIRS, Prince Dan Olaitan Dada said the drivers badge, conductors badges and commercial vehicle colour exercise are enshrined in the National Traffic Law which has been domesticated in the State to bring sanity to the road.
Prince Dan, who is the Chairman of Dansavist Multi Concept, explained that the drivers badge is only for commercial drivers with driver’s licence, while the one time conductor badge is only for motor workers (conductor) which both license (s) are subject to renewal.
