FRSC redeploys 61 officers, sector commanders to boost road safety operations
As part of efforts to reinvigorate the operations of the Corps and consolidate its commitment to road safety management in Nigeria, the Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Shehu Mohammed, has approved the posting of senior officers, including a new corps secretary, and four other Assistant Corps Marshals, ACM, with strategic portfolios, as well as sector commanders across several states of the federation.
Assistant Corps Marshal Olusegun Ogungbemide, FRSC Public Education Officer, at the Corps Headquarters, Abuja, in a statement on Sunday, said that beyond the sector commanders, a total of 61 other corps commanders have been redeployed across key formations at the FRSC National Headquarters, academy, zonal commands, and special units nationwide.
He said their postings cover critical areas such as Operations, Policy, Administration, Logistics, Training, Data Management, Research, Establishment, and Medical Services, reflecting FRSC’s resolve to strengthen institutional capacity at both command and support levels.
The Corps Marshal emphasised that the redeployment exercise is aimed at ensuring greater efficiency and improved service delivery, stressing that the newly appointed officers are expected to bring fresh vigour to FRSC operations in line with its mandate of safer roads and fuller compliance with traffic regulations.
He urged the officers to justify the confidence reposed in them by the management of the corps, while calling on the motoring public to cooperate with the new appointees to sustain the drive towards safer highways across the country.
At the top of the posting, ACM G. Ntukidem, formerly ACM Personnel, has been appointed as the new Corps Secretary at the FRSC National Headquarters, Abuja. Similarly, ACM J.W. Toby moves from ACM (Policy) in the Policy Research and Statistics Department to assume duty as Zonal Commanding Officer, RS11HQ Osogbo, while ACM I. Abubakar, formerly at Osogbo, now takes over as ACM Policy at the national headquarters.
In the same vein, ACM A.M. Hassan has been redeployed from Manpower Development in the Department of Training to now head the Technical Service Department, also at the national headquarters, while ACM A. Sanusi, who has just concluded a course at the National Defence College, resumes as ACM Manpower Development in the Training Department.
Expectedly, the posting likewise affected several sector commands across the federation. CC J.N. Alexander has been moved from Anambra to Delta State; CC Y.T.
