FRSC Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, described the exercise as a reflection of the organisation’s dedication to professionalism, discipline, and structured career progression.
He urged the newly promoted officers to justify the confidence reposed in them by demonstrating greater commitment, leadership, and excellence in their duties.
He stressed that the elevation goes beyond recognition, describing it as a call to higher responsibility, particularly in advancing the Corps’ mandate of reducing road traffic crashes and ensuring safer motoring environments nationwide.
The Corps also directed that officers should not adorn their new ranks until they are formally decorated, in line with standard procedures.
The development marks a significant milestone in FRSC’s ongoing efforts to build a motivated, result-driven workforce committed to saving lives on Nigerian roads.
