The Department of Transport Management has extended the embossed vehicle number plate project deadline by three years to December 2028 after delays caused by last year’s Gen-Z protests. A fire during the protests destroyed over 850,000 plates and equipment. Implemented by Decatur–Tiger IT, the project aimed to install 2.5 million plates but has fitted fewer than 100,000 vehicles so far. Under revised terms, the department will share losses while installation continues under the extended timeline.
