The Edo Internal Revenue Service (EIRS), has attributed the non-availability of vehicle number plates in the state to lack of supply from the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
Mr Courage Eboigbe, Head of Corporate Communication, EIRS, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday.
Eboigbe said, “the FRSC is not supplying, it is a nationwide issue. It is wrong to say that we are not applying for vehicle number plates.
“FRSC is responsible for the production, but due to maintenance it cannot produce number plates which are issued to state internal revenue services for sale to end users.
“The ones we have are exhausted, but we have already placed order for number plates.’’
Eboigbe urged motorists in the state to be patient and assured them that as soon as the FRSC made supply, they would get them.
NAN reports that some motorists in the state had complained that they could not get the new number plates to replace the old ones.
They called on the FRSC to expedite action on the production of number plates to stem hardship they face in acquiring them. (NAN)
