Meanwhile, the state government is set to begin the standardisation of driving schools in the state.
A statement from the Ministry of Transportation said the move was to reduce accidents and ensure the safety of road users.
Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Kayode Opeifa, said this during a meeting with Nigeria Driving School Proprietor Association.
Opeifa said, “The era where mushroom driving schools, incompetent instructors or drivers who do not know the rudiment of driving are recommended by driving schools for drivers’ license is gone.
“With the standardisation, a uniform curriculum would be introduced by the government for the driving schools to ensure that intending drivers acquire the necessary training.”
The commissioner said the government would support driving schools in the area of instructional materials as well as ensuring that professional drivers, who failed the Lagos State Drivers’ Institute re-certification training, undergo a compulsory training in the standardised driving schools.
