IN line with the smart city initiative of the administration of Governor Akinwumi Ambode, the Lagos State Government, through its Motor Vehicle Administration Agency, MVAA, has announced the creation of a website – www.lsmvaapvs.org – through which motorists and law enforcement agencies can henceforth confirm the authenticity of number plates issued by the agency.

Lateef Lawal, general manager of MVAA, Lagos, who disclosed this in his office at the secretariat, Alausa, said the platform also became necessary to eradicate the unnecessary harassment of licensees by officials of the Nigerian Police, Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, and other Security Agencies.

He emphasised that the situation became worrisome and embarrassing to the state government and its clients when incessant reports, calls, SMS, e-mails and visits from licensees became rampant that vehicles duly registered with Lagos State number plates were being impounded by FRSC and other security officials.

The general manager, therefore, enjoined the general public, particularly car owners, FRSC and security agencies to visit the MVAA’s website at to verify the authenticity of number plates issued by the MVAA, noting 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.”

While wishing Lagosians a joyful yuletide and prosperous 2017, Lawal enjoined motorists to comply with driving rules and make sure that their vehicle particulars are up-to- date to avoid being penalised by the authorities concerned during the period.
