26 years minimum required age to be a driver in Nigeria


The FRSC announced recently that the Minimum age required for an individual to start driving in Nigeria is 26 years.

According to Christopher Ademoluti,Kwara State sector commander of FRSC while speaking at the inauguration of commercial driver’s licence in Ilorin said the measure would ensure that only mature commercial drivers would have the opportunity to drive and convey others.

“We want to peg the minimum age of a commercial driver in Nigeria at 26 to enable them have the experience, maturity and expertise to drive and convey people, unlike the present situation where we have underage people like 16-year-olds driving commercial vehicles,” he said.
