If you have ever been flagged down by members of the Federal Road Safety Corps FRSC, chances are you must have, at one point, been requested to part with your money either physical cash or through electronic transfer no matter what your offences were.
To this end, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has noted it does not receive payment for fines on traffic offences through Point of Sale (PoS) machines.
FRSC public education officer Bisi Kazeem in a statement said the corps does not also “permit the use of POS machines nor receive payment for fines of traffic offences on patrol points.”
According a Guardian report, Kazeem said the E-Tablet is part of efforts to introduce technology into its operations and “fade out the use of booking sheet which is a manual way of recording traffic offenders’ information and replace it with a digital booking device.

The corps explained that the introduction of the E-tablet is to enhance the ease of doing business and noted that the device is targeted at improving robust data collection and speeding up on-the-spot synchronisation of traffic offenders’ information into the national database.

“The device is a one stop shop for verification of the national driver’s license and the vehicle number plate as well as other FRSC products and services.
“In addition to the above and for better clarification on this technology, the Corps wishes to let the public know that the E-Tablet is a 3 in one android device that was brought into the operational front in compliance with global best practices on electronic ticketing,” he said.
