In a significant move that signals a new era of recognition and reward within the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), more than 2,000 personnel across various ranks are currently undergoing promotion in what has been described as one of the most ambitious exercises in the Corps’ history.
This promotion wave—cutting across all twelve Zonal Commands reflects a bold shift in leadership philosophy, anchored on merit, performance, and the holistic well-being of officers and marshals alike.
Assistant Corps Marshal and Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, mni, FISPON, anipr, confirmed the development, describing it as a strategic reform aimed at motivating personnel and strengthening operational effectiveness across board.
“This is a progressive leap for the FRSC. It is about building a culture where hard work is not only seen, but rewarded. The Corps Marshal’s vision is clear: promote professionalism, boost morale, and elevate service delivery standards through people-first leadership,” he said.
Since assuming office, Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed has made staff welfare a cornerstone of his administration. The ongoing promotion exercise is just one of several people-focused initiatives under his leadership. Others include improved training programmes, enhanced working conditions, performance-based assessments, and structured staff housing schemes.
According to Ogungbemide, this round of promotions was carefully planned to ensure fairness and credibility, adding that all eligible officers were given equal opportunity based on their service records and qualifications.
“We are witnessing the rise of a system that rewards diligence, integrity, and consistency. This is more than a promotion exercise; it’s a renewal of trust and purpose within the Corps,” he added.
Already, the impact of the exercise is being felt across FRSC formations nationwide, as personnel express renewed energy, hope, and confidence in the leadership.
As the Corps continues to confront the complex challenges of road safety management, the current administration’s focus on workforce development and recognition is expected to foster a more efficient, motivated, and responsive team.
For many officers, this promotion isn’t just about new ranks,it’s about being seen, heard, and valued.
