The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says it is in the process of providing a single licence for a motor vehicle driver and motorcycle rider.
The corps is also creating awareness for motorcycle riders to know that there are categories of driver’s licence, including driver’s licence for motorcycle riders.
The FRSC authorities in the South-South made this known during a survey conducted by NAN.
The Sector Commander, RS6.1, Rivers, Mr Salisu Galadunci, said in Port Harcourt that the essence was to ensure that motorcycle riders were properly licensed.
“If you are a motorcycle and motor vehicle rider/driver, you will not need to process driver’s licence for the two separately.
“You will only process one that covers the two. So, it is going be two licences in one card.

“I have come across so many people riding motorcycles and if you ask them to produce their driver’s licences, they will just look at you.
“But we are creating awareness for them to know that there are categories of driver’s licence, and one of them is driver’s licence for motorcycle riders.
“For you to have it, you must undergo the same process as someone going for driver’s licence for motor vehicle or truck.
“If you don’t know how to drive, you must be trained in driving school and have a certificate,” he said
