 THREE-MONTH AMNESTY: 

LASG REDUCES COST OF REPLACING FADED NUMBER PLATES TO ₦20,000


The Lagos State Government has approved a temporary reduction in the cost of replacing faded and damaged vehicle number plates from ₦30,000 to ₦20,000, as part of a three-month amnesty and rebate window running from January to March 2026.


The initiative, approved by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, applies to both private and commercial vehicle owners across the State and is aimed at improving vehicle identification, strengthening security architecture and enhancing overall road safety.


The Permanent Secretary, Motor Vehicle Administration Agency (MVAA), Mr. Rasheed Muri-Okunola, disclosed that the rebate is a deliberate and citizen-focused intervention designed to encourage motorists to voluntarily replace faded, worn or illegible number plates at a significantly reduced cost.


According to him, the condition of vehicle number plates has direct implications for security, traffic enforcement and crime prevention, as faded or damaged plates hinder effective monitoring, investigation and identification of vehicles.


“Clear and readable number plates are fundamental to public safety and security. This amnesty period allows motorists to replace faded plates at ₦20,000 instead of ₦30,000, reducing the financial burden while supporting collective efforts to make Lagos safer,” Muri-Okunola stated.


He explained that the rebate applies strictly within the January to March 2026 window, urging motorists with faded or damaged number plates to take immediate advantage by visiting the Pilot Centre at Oshodi One Stop Centre, Oshodi or any of the agency’s 140 stations across the state for the replacement process.


The Permanent Secretary emphasised that the initiative responds to rising security concerns linked to unreadable plate numbers, noting that legible and standardised plates are critical to crime detection, traffic management, digital vehicle tracking and emergency response systems.


Muri-Okunola warned that upon the expiration of the three-month amnesty period in March 2026, the replacement fee will revert to the original ₦30,000, and enforcement measures will be fully applied to ensure compliance.
