Nigeria: VIO Trains Over 300 Officers On New Vehicle Inspection Technology

7 August 2018

The Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO), Federal Capital Territory (FCT), says it has trained over 300 officers on the use of 'Abuja Inspector,' a new App, for inspection of vehicles within the territory. The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the agency, Mr Kalu Emetu, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja. Emeu said the Abuja Inspector App was introduced to enable the officers detect vehicles with defects from a distance.

"Once a vehicle is coming we look at your plate number, key it into the Abuja Inspector App to get the chassis number. "It will check whether the vehicle's papers had been renewed, know when the vehicle was registered and get the personal details of the owner of the vehicle," he said. He said the training was ongoing and every officer of the agency was expected to know how to operate the new App.
