It’s been 2 years at @moniepoint 🥳 so I decided to share how I scaled our research practice from just 1 person (me) to now 8 people, and exponential business outcomes. In this article, I share 5 key things I did to build a world-class research team.

Dealers’ Plates: Purpose, Abuse, and the Path to Reform
1. Purpose of Dealer Plates
Dealer plates are special registration numbers issued only to licensed automobile dealers by @mvaalagos
They are meant for temporary use; moving unregistered vehicles for test drives, showroom transfers, or delivery to buyers. NOT for daily personal driving.
2. Common Abuse
In Lagos, many motorists now misuse dealer plates as if they were permanent registration.
This is often done to avoid paying registration fees, roadworthiness, and insurance. It undermines fairness and cheats law-abiding road users.
The SSA-T ‘Transport Mission’ continued yesterday as the Senior Special Assistant on Transport Education & Innovation, Tobi Idowu, met with the Permanent Secretary of the Motor Vehicle Administration Agency (MVAA), Mr. Rasheed Muri-Okunola, and his team to commend their leadership and explore deeper collaboration.
Discussions centered on strengthening compliance, tackling misuse of dealer plates, addressing faded/defaced number plates, and promoting full compliance with vehicle documentation. The SSA emphasized that “with more compliance, there will be less enforcement,” stressing the need for transport education that enlightens and sensitizes Lagosians.
The PS highlighted ongoing reforms to speed up and make driver’s license issuance more user-friendly while also unveiling plans to fully digitalize MVAA operations. He further noted that citizens can process a wide range of services at any of MVAA’s over 140 stations across Lagos at the government’s flat rate and should be discouraged from patronizing touts who inflate costs, delay processes, and provide outdated information.
Together, the SSA and MVAA are set to intensify sensitization and create public awareness of key MVAA services such as Vehicle license, Hackney permits, Rider’s cards, and more — all in line with Mr. Governor’s THEMES+ Agenda for a transparent and technology-driven transport ecosystem.

This action stems from the resolutions of the 2nd Lagos Traffic Conference.
A safer, saner Lagos begins with order on our roads. Every motorist, commuter and transport operator must now choose discipline over chaos. Let’s prove that Lagos can work when we all obey the rules.
