The Delta State Government has announced the implementation of a QR Code/Barcode Verification Scheme for commercial vehicles as part of efforts to strengthen security, improve vehicle identification, and enhance the efficiency of the state’s transport system.
In a public announcement issued by the Directorate of Transport, the government disclosed that Wydil Innovate Limited has been appointed as the consultant responsible for implementing the verification scheme across the state.
According to the announcement, the initiative will facilitate the registration, onboarding, coding, data collection, and verification of commercial vehicles operating within Delta State.
Authorities said the system is expected to improve the identification of commercial vehicles while enhancing the safety of commuters and transport operators.
The government also warned that fake QR codes are already in circulation and urged passengers and drivers to verify the authenticity of QR codes by scanning them before using commercial transport services.
Members of the public were advised to patronize only commercial vehicles displaying the government-approved QR Code/Barcode Verification, describing the measure as an important step toward safeguarding passengers and strengthening public confidence in the transportation sector.
Commercial vehicle operators have been directed to obtain the approved QR Code/Barcode Verification for their vehicles ahead of the commencement of enforcement.
The Directorate of Transport announced that enforcement of the scheme will begin on Monday, July 13, 2026, with all stakeholders expected to comply with the directive.
The Delta State Government said the initiative forms part of its broader commitment to improving security, promoting accountability within the transport sector, and creating a safer and more efficient public transportation system for residents.
