Correspondence for Ashanti Region The Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), Foster Akwasi Asante (Esq), has announced the successful clearance of a substantial backlog of license applications that had accumulated over several years, extending up to January 2024.
He said this during a mid-year review program held by the authority in the Ashanti region, adding that the move was part of a significant measure to ensure road safety and regulatory compliance. "This achievement marks a major milestone for the DVLA, and we are now actively processing new applications for all applicants," he said.
Since taking office, he said, the DVLA has revitalized its compliance team, known as the task force, with a renewed mandate to enforce laws governing road safety and vehicle licensing. "The initiative aims to significantly reduce the alarming rate of road accidents in the country, which have been attributed to reckless driving behaviors.
The compliance team is dedicated to ensuring that all drivers adhere strictly to road safety regulations," he said.
