The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed, has commended officers and men of the Corps for their exceptional resilience, professionalism, and courage displayed during the Christmas travel period across the country.
Addressing staff, the Corps Marshal described the performance of FRSC personnel as outstanding and historic, noting that their tireless commitment and strategic interventions were instrumental in clearing major traffic gridlocks, including the notoriously congested Lokoja axis and other critical corridors nationwide.
In a statement issued by Olusegun Ogungbemide, Assistant Corps Marshal and Corps Public Education Officer, Mohammed said the ability of FRSC personnel to withstand intense traffic pressure, extended work hours, harsh weather conditions, and high vehicular volumes while maintaining discipline and professionalism demonstrates the Corps’ readiness and capacity to safeguard lives even under the most demanding circumstances.
He added that personnel rose beyond the call of duty, standing firm and working tirelessly to deliver results when Nigerians needed them most. According to him, their courage, endurance, and professionalism during the Christmas travels reaffirm the FRSC’s unwavering commitment to safer roads and seamless mobility.
The Corps Marshal further emphasized that the successful management of traffic flow during the festive period reflects the Corps’ growing operational efficiency, improved coordination, and strong leadership at all levels.
He acknowledged the sacrifices made by officers who remained on duty while others celebrated with their families, describing such dedication as the true hallmark of service and patriotism.
Mohammed urged all personnel to sustain the momentum, remain vigilant, and continue to uphold the core values of the Corps as traffic volume remains high ahead of the New Year festivities. He also reassured Nigerians of the FRSC’s continued resolve to ensure safer highways and hitch-free travels nationwide.
The Federal Road Safety Corps reiterated its commitment to its statutory mandate of reducing road crashes, promoting responsible road use, and protecting lives on Nigerian roads.
