Lagos State Motor Vehicle
Administration Agency (MVAA)
, has announced the
existence of a website
through which motorists and
law enforcement agencies
can henceforth confirm the
authenticity and genuineness
of number plate issued by
the agency, in line with the
Smart City initiative of
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
Mr. Lateef Lawal, general
manager of the agency, said
that the platform became
necessary in order to
eradicate the unnecessary
harassment of motorists by
officials of the Nigerian
Police, Federal Road Safety
Corp (FRSC) and other
security agencies.
He reiterated that the
situation became worrisome
and embarrassing to the
state government and its
clients when incessant
reports, calls, Short
Message Service (SMS), e-
mails and visits from licensee
became rampant that
vehicles duly registered with
Lagos State number plates
were being impounded by
FRSC and other security
officials.
He then advised the general
public particularly motorists,
FRSC and other Security
Agencies to visit the MVAA’s
website on
www.lsmvaapvs.org to verify
the authenticity and
genuineness of number
plates issued by the MVAA.
MVAA boss explained that
the site is easy to navigate,
once logged in, type in the
number plate and wait for the
confirmation of the details of
the vehicle.
Lawal therefore, urged
motorists to comply with
driving rules and make sure
that their vehicle’s
particulars are up to date to
avoid been penalized by the
authori2ties concerned.
