The Lagos State Government has announced plans to roll out vehicle number plates designed to identify persons with disabilities (PWDs).
This initiative was revealed during the 2025 ministerial press briefing held on Tuesday. The event marked the second year of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second term.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said the Lagos State Number Plate Production Authority (LSNPPA) will oversee the implementation.
“The authority is also into the production of customised 716 fancy motor vehicle plates and 347 motorcycle fancy plates for vehicle owners on request,” Osiyemi said.
Achievements of LSNPPA
Osiyemi highlighted the achievements of LSNPPA from May 2024 to March 2025. The authority produced 218,400 standard number plates for private and commercial vehicles.
It also issued 11,152 standard number plate replacements, 212 motorcycle plate replacements, and 63 fancy plate replacements.
“They also produced 428 official number plates, 1,510 dealer plates, and 4,000 articulated vehicle plates,” he added.
The LSNPPA is collaborating with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to develop eco-friendly number plates. This aligns with the state’s “Go Green” initiatives aimed at promoting environmental sustainability.
About Fading Plates
Osiyemi addressed public concerns about fading number plates. He assured that the state uses high-quality materials for production.
“We should also understand that fading of the number plate is a function of the kind of material we use to wash our cars, which are very corrosive,” he explained.
He also noted that number plates, like humans, have a lifespan and should be replaced when necessary.
“We should also know that as man has a life span, so also are plate numbers; and they should be changed when the need arises,” he advised.
