List of Government Approved Driving Schools in Lagos State

The ability to drive a car is among the cool perks of attaining adulthood. Like being finally able to vote (or to be able to "decide" not to), driving a car is something many look forward to - like a rite of passage, if you will.

In a previous post on the quickest way to get a drivers' licence in Nigeria, we pointed out that the Federal Road Safety Commission requires that all applicants attend a government accredited driving school before applying for the licence. The rules are a tad stricter than they used to be, so, for those of you looking for an approved driving school near you, the following are the ones currently operational in Lagos.
