FRSC Remita – If you are conversant with Nigerian roads, you may have ran into muddy waters with a team of the Federal Road Safety Commission popularly called FRSC in brief.
The road safety like you are aware has a strict responsibility of ensuring the safety of all Nigerian road users, to this end you could easily commit an offense by knowingly or ignorantly going against any of her set down rules.
The commission is being empowered to impound your vehicle in a situation it was established you contravened against any of its rules.
This impoundment will usually start by retrieving your driver’s license but funny enough most drivers do not have driver’s license, it’s either the license has expired without being renewed or such drivers do not have one, this in its entirety constitutes a separate and punishable offense.
In the heat of any of these offenses, the team of FRSC in charge will raise a GISMIS code through which you can complete a payment for your offense by generating a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR).
Given this, most persons have difficulty generating the remita code (RRR) to further complete the payment, it’s on this note that I found it pertinent to write this piece which I strongly believed treated every step you need to follow to accomplish this payment in simple steps.
