The National Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, has pledged support to the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC in its quest to rid the nation of fake number plates.
President of NYCN, Ambassador Sukubo Sukubo, who stated this during a visit to the FRSC Headquarters Abuja, noted that proliferation of fake number plates poses a significant threat to national security and road safety.
According to him, as young leaders, the Council recognises the importance of contributing to the security of the nation, hence the need for the partnership.
He pledged the readiness of NYCN to work with the FRSC to educate its members and the general public on the dangers of fake number plates as well as the importance of obtaining genuine number plates through authorised channels.
He declared the willingness of his Office to engage in joint enforcement with the Corps to get rid of the menace.
In a remark, the Assistant Corps Marshal Operations, ACM Hyginus Uche Omeje who received the delegation at the national headquarters in Abuja on behalf of Corps Marshal Mallam Shehu Mohammed maintained that FRSC has been at the forefront of the campaign against fake number plates, and this partnership with the NYCN is expected to amplify the efforts of the Corps.
