Anambra: Traffic offenders to pay N10,000 fine from Oct 14 – Soludo

Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State, has pegged traffic offences in the state at N10,000.

Soludo said the implementation of the fine would commence from October 14, 2025.

The governor disclosed this at a town hall meeting by transport stakeholders at the Chuba Ikpeazu Stadium Onitsha and was contained in a statement by his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, on Tuesday.

He explained that the fine was implemented as a significant policy change aimed at easing the financial burden on motorists in Anambra State.

Soludo said, “Starting from October 14, 2025, the maximum fine payable for any traffic offence in the state will be ₦10,000, regardless of the nature of the offence.

“The policy is designed to alleviate the economic strain on our people, particularly in a time when many are grappling with rising costs.

“Among other plans for transporters and road users, is the importance of balancing law enforcement with compassion for the everyday challenges faced by drivers and citizens alike.

“We are partners in progress. We will set a special task force and enforcement against illegal tax collectors. Anybody that collects cash should remit it to the government coffers.”
