The federal road safety commission (FRSC) has commenced a new mode of fines referred to as remittal retrieval reference mode.
The Edo state sector commander of FRSC, RS 5.1 commander Oluwasusi Olagoke Familoni who disclosed this to National reformer in Benin City said the new mode in compliance with a federal Government directive that payment be made directly into consolidated account with the new development, he said road traffics offenders can now pay in any bank nationwide, unlike previously when payment was restricted to some designated banks.
With the transition period, he said offenders wanting to pay their fines my experience hitches as many bank are yet to cue into the new payment system which required generating RRR number which every account must have. When you bring it (RRR reference number to FRSC we now confirm through our conformation process before releasing of your paper,” he said. We started it last week (last week of July).We don’t penalize defaulters now because is not their fault,” he added. According to him, we have closed all former FRSC account with the banks.
