The Federal Government has recently introduced a new policy mandating all vehicle owners to obtain a Proof of Ownership Certificate (POC).
The policy, set to be implemented in Lagos state from July onwards, requires vehicle owners to renew this certificate annually.
Previously, Nigerians were only required to obtain a Proof of Ownership when purchasing a used vehicle or replacing the engine.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transportation, Engr AbdulHafiz Toriola, revealed that the POC policy will apply to all types of vehicles, including motorcycles, tricycles, mini vehicles, saloon cars, trucks, and articulated vehicles used for transportation purposes.
