The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), has expressed its readiness to introduce the Tertiary Students Drive Service (TSDS) initiative at the University of Cape Coast (UCC).
When introduced, the TSDS will afford students the opportunity to acquire a valid driver’s licence while in school.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the DVLA, Mr Kwasi Agyemang Busia, made this known when he led a high-level management of the Authority to pay a working visit to management of UCC.
Mr Kwasi Agyemang Busia - Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the DVLA
Since he took office in February 2017, Mr. Busia indicated that he had embarked on a transformative drive at the Authority and further seeks to enhance that drive by partnering UCC to build and establish research collaboration that would be a boon for students.
He added that the mandate of the DVLA was to ensure good driving practices in Ghana and noted that the TertDrive programme by DVLA would also educate the student body more on road safety.
The Provost of the College of Health Allied Sciences, Prof. Martins Ekor, who received the delegation, welcomed the idea by DVLA to extend its Tertiary Students Drive Service to UCC.
Prof. Martins Ekor - Provost of the College of Health Allied Sciences
Prof. Ekor told the management of DVLA to laise with the Department of Geography and Regional Planning, Department of Optometry and the Transport Section of the University to get the TertDrive programme introduced.
As part of the meeting, the Deputy Director of Business Research, Development and Innovation at DVLA, Mr. Abraham Zaato, made a powerpoint presentation on the successes chalked up by DVLA. He reiterated that the Authority had over the years worked to correct the negative image it has had as a corrupt public institution in the country.

He added that TSDS would give students an added advantage over other competitors who were equally qualified but had no driving skills.
