The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun has ordered the suspension of the proposed enforcement process on the electronic central motor registry registration process (E-CMR) initially scheduled to commence on the 29th of July, 2024.
In a statement by the force public relations officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, the relax of enforcement is to allow for massive enlightenment to highlight the benefits and effectiveness of the initiative, which is designed to ensure the safety and security of all types of vehicles, including motorcycles by collating data imputed into the system by vehicle owners.
The statement further explained that the E-CMR is not a revenue-generating platform, but an initiative to digitalize policing for effectiveness and general safety of lives and property of Nigerian residents.
