“Owing to the strategic intervention mechanisms introduced towards clearing the backlogs of the NDL by the corp marshal, FRSC, Shehu Mohammed, the NDL Print Farm has produced 73,740 licenses in two weeks.
“You would recall that at assumption of office, one of the most cardinal steps taken by the corps marshal towards revamping the entire processes of the corps was a working visit to the FRSC Print Farm.
“This assessment was propelled by the alarming rate of public outcry about the unprecedented delay applicants faced regarding issuance of the NDL.
“At the end of the assessment, the corps marshal set up a task force to ensure that the backlog is cleared in soonest possible time,” he said.
He further directed 24 hours production and immediate rectification of the identified technical glitches that affected the overall production capacity of the farm.
“As at the moment, a total of 84,500 NDLs are on queue for production and expected to be delivered to the respective State licensing authorities nationwide,”he said.
He assured the public of the corps’ commitment to quality service, while calling on applicants, especially those who have experienced delay, to await notification or contact their state licensing offices for pick up of the already produced ones.
