Numbers
Dutse, Oct. 11, 2016 (NAN) The Jigawa Board of Internal Revenue has advised vehicles owners in the state whose number plates had faded and no longer identifiable, to replace them.
Alhaji Salisu Sani, the Coordinator of Road Taxes of the board, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Dutse on Tuesday.
Sani said that vehicles with such faded number plates could be used to commit crimes since the information on them was no longer visible.
“We want to urge such vehicles owners to as quickly as possible replace the faded numbers.
“This is because such numbers are no longer identifiable, and as such, some criminals can hide under that and commit certain crimes.
“And the replacement can also help the board to generate more revenue for our dear state,” Sani said.
He explained that replacing the worn-out numbers would help in identifying vehicles from a far.
The coordinator expressed the board’s willingness to collaborate with relevant stakeholders to check such vehicles. (NAN)
