1. Your vehicle plate number is from Lagos State, ur Insurance, Vehicle License BUT ur Road Worthiness is from Ogun State, for clarity purposes ... Everything is recognized across the country but all must be in ONE Location. There is no racket.

@jidesanwoolu @gboyegaakosile
@OluyomiOjo

2. This helps for security purposes and also a proper database of vehicles in the State .. U don’t need to do another Road Worthiness as far as all your documents tally with the location of ur plate number even if u drive to Abuja, It remains VALID.
@OluyomiOjo
3. The camera that captured ur plate number did not make an error and there is no racket ... The Database here clearly shows that the road worthiness is not captured in the State Database as required.
