NRS Confirms No New Vehicle Tax in Nigeria

The National Road Safety (NRS) agency, represented by Chairman Dare Adekambi, has clarified that there is no new vehicle tax being introduced by the federal government, contrary to a viral claim circulating online. This misinformation suggested that owners of private and commercial vehicles would be required to pay a new tax starting July 1.

Adekambi explained that the content of the viral post was not sourced from any official government body and emphasized that the information shared widely was incorrect. The NRS warned the public to be cautious about information from unknown and unverifiable sources, particularly on social media.

Adekambi advised Nigerians to depend on official communication channels for accurate updates regarding tax matters and government policies, urging them to ignore misleading posts and infographics that could confuse the public.
