Nigerian motorists and commuters will soon pay more for traffic offences as the Senate has passed amendments to the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, Act introducing stiffer penalties.
Details of the FRSC Act (Amendment) Bill obtained by Vanguard, on Thursday, showed that fines for several offences were raised by up to 300%. The bill also reinforces penalties for offences, including a N50,000 fine for preaching or selling products inside public vehicles.
