This special patrol code-named “Operation Show Your Driver’s Licence”, according to Lagos state Sector Commander, Hyginus Omeje, will run for two weeks.
In a statement signed by the Sector’s Head of Public Education, Superintendent Route Commander (SRC) Florence Edor on Tuesday, the aim of this special patrol is to reduce the high incidents of motorists driving without valid driver’s licence in the state.
