Chief Ralph Uwazuruike---MASSOB leader, who spoke through the organisation’s Information Coordinator for Onitsha, Mr. Charles Igbokwe, said the new Biafran number plates for vehicles, drivers’ licence and new currency were launched on Friday---in a colourful ceremony in Owerri---Imo State capital.
He said "it is the right of all transporters and private car owners, who are from the South-East to update their vehicle licences, adding that the programme also covers drivers of commercial tricycles and motorcycles.
“Now, it is the right of all Biafrans, all transporter operators, private car owners and Okada riders to avail themselves of this opportunity to update their particulars. We also use the period of the registration exercise to call on all the traditional rulers and presidents-general of town unions to help educate their people on the need to get abreast with the new Biafran currency and other programmes.”
He further disclosed that income tax was now available for everybody within the areas under the control of the MASSOB.
On the Biafran currency---Chief Uwazuruike said the money was already in circulation throughout the ‘Biafran states,’adding that from the time of the launch of the new currency, the money would be available in all the banks across the geo-political zone.
