The ICPC boss commended FRSC's innovations, including the Contactless Driver's Licence Processing System, which reduces corruption risks.

He also lauded the introduction of the premium driver's licence service, noting that improved service timelines had enhanced public trust and highlighted several ongoing reforms designed to improve service delivery.

Alyu also commended the Corps' capacity presently to produce up to 25,000 driver's licences daily, supported by enhanced data-protection measures to prevent identity-related fraud.
