Know the Rules for Your Move in Nigeria
A federal road-transport license layered with state-level requirements, plus a requirement for commercial fleet operators to designate a company Safety Manager.
Before you rely on this
Nigeria licenses commercial goods transport through the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Operator’s License, issued nationally to companies operating commercial vehicles, with individual states layering on their own State Transport Authority (STA) requirements for local operation. Where a mover subcontracts transport, the carrier holds these. Business incorporation runs separately through the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). Always confirm current requirements directly before hiring a mover.
What kind of question is it?
CAC business registration, plus an FRSC Operator’s License, applicable State Transport Authority requirements and vehicle documentation where the mover operates its own commercial vehicles.
