The Cross River State government has launched the Motor Ordinance Test (MOT) and Parking Permit Agenda for the year 2024 to increase its revenue base.

“I urge all consultants whom we have gone through thier profiles and found them worthy to serve the governent in good capacities to put in thier experience and expertise to meet our target in this regard.

“As we unveil the security document today, I promise all our consultants our support they need to curb forgery and sale of fake papers by criminals to the public.

“I want also to let you know that I have sent a press release notifying the public, that only papers signed by the head of the agency are to be patronized.”

“It’s mandatory that vehicle owners have to buy motorists ordinance test documents,” stressing that it’s one of the ways they can contribute towards development of the state.
