Transforming Government since 2001
Akwa Ibom State government has commenced the process of web registration of vehicles by signing an MoU with a private security firm specialising in biometric registration of vehicles. The move according to the state commissioner for transport, Mr. Ekpenyong Ntekim, is aimed at addressing the cardinal issues of security, efficient traffic management and enhanced integrity of vehicle licensing and documentation.

At the signing of the MoU on Friday between the state government represented by the ministries of transport and justice, and the representative of the Courtville Business Solutions Plc, Mr. Wale Sonaike, Ntekim said the need to set out a robust framework to track vehicular movement in the state necessitated the new move. On the authenticity of the agency, the Commissioner said: “We interviewed and interacted with a number of agencies with ostensible capacity to provide these services. After a dispassionate, thorough and painstaking appraisal, we settled for the web-based Autoreg by Courtville Business Solutions Plc since it provides the best option both in capacity and experience.”

He said Autoreg provides a verification solution that is easy, with access designed to be available anywhere throughout the state and all car dealers, spare parts dealers, fleet operators and operators of driving schools shall be registered and captured into the database. Ntekim said: “The business solution is not new to Nigeria. Lagos State was the first to adopt it in 2007 and currently about 16 states have keyed into it, including our neighbouring states, where its rigid implementation has turned Akwa Ibom State into a dumping ground for unregulated vehicle operators.”

He disclosed that the firm will commence operations in the state from April 2012 in partnership with the state internal revenue service, noting that the project is which self-sustaining would generate revenue for the state and eliminate touting.
