He stressed that vehicles coding has become necessary to assist the state government in generating data that would help to regulate the transportation sub-sector, especially now that insecurity was troubling the state.

“We had an instance where someone used a tricycle for robbery. It was impossible to track down the criminal because he had a fake security number on his tricycle.

“We have to holistically commence the process of thinking outside the box on how to restore this critical function of the ministry.

“Initial phase is to reconcile the existing numbers to determine those which are fake and those that are authentic,” the Commissioner added, stressing that there are certain documentation that will aid the ministry differentiate codes that were authentic from fake ones.

“When a particular number is picked and keyed to our website, it will give you true identity of vehicle owner and rider,” Cobham added, stressing that absence of this provided very porous situation in the past.
