A Driver Reference Letter is a crucial document in the Nigerian transportation and employment landscape, typically required when professional drivers seek new employment opportunities or need to verify their previous work experience. This document, governed by Nigerian labor laws and transportation regulations, provides potential employers with verified information about a driver's work history, safety record, and professional conduct. The letter should comply with the Federal Road Safety Commission (Establishment) Act, 2007, and the Nigeria Labour Act, while adhering to the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) 2019 for personal data protection. It serves as a key tool in the hiring process, risk assessment, and verification of professional qualifications in the transportation sector.
