The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Kwara Command has advised motorists in the State to desist from concealing their vehicle's number plates.

The Sector Commander, Mr Sunday Maku, gave the advice in a statement signed by the Sector Public Enlightenment Officer, Mr Solomon Meremikwu, in Ilorin on Thursday.

Maku said that concealing the numbers was contrary to Section 37 of the National Road Traffic Regulations (2012). The sector commander declared that the section clearly stated that number plates must be fixed conspicuously at all times.

"The corps will commence enforcement of displaying number plates in appropriate places very soon", Maku said. The commander stressed that concealing number plates had security implications.

"Anybody that indulges in this act should desist from it forthwith and ensure that vehicle number plates are conspicuously displayed at all times as contained in Section 37 of the Road Traffic Regulations (2012)", he said. Maku also advised government officials and of traditional rulers' entourage to comply with the directive to avoid unnecessary embarrassment.
