From Our Reporter In Makurdi
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reaffirmed its commitment to professionalism and discipline following reports of unprofessional conduct by some of its personnel on Nigerian roads.
Addressing officers and men of the Corps on Tuesday in Makurdi, the Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM), Safety Engineering Officer at the National Headquarters, Chichebem Onukwubiri, said the FRSC had introduced a reform initiative designed to restore its core values rather than punish erring officers.
According to him, the exercise is aimed at strengthening the institution and reinforcing its sacred mandate of safeguarding lives and property on the nation’s highways.
Onukwubiri urged personnel to embrace the programme with openness and sincerity, stressing the need for attentive listening, honest engagement, deliberate learning, and readiness to adjust where necessary. He maintained that every patrol operation and interaction with the public must reflect competence, integrity, and respect for human dignity.
He expressed confidence that the reform would usher in a more professional Corps, noting that the FRSC had historically not been associated with harassment of road users. However, he acknowledged recent incidents of misconduct involving some officers, describing the initiative as a turning point toward restoring and rebuilding public confidence.
In his remarks, the Benue State Sector Commander of the Corps, Kehinde Dahunsi, described the programme as a strategic intervention focused on sensitization, discipline reinforcement, and institutional strengthening.
Dahunsi stated that the initiative is designed to reposition the Corps for greater efficiency in the discharge of its road safety mandate. He emphasized that the dynamic nature of FRSC operations requires continuous capacity building, stressing that discipline remains the bedrock of the Corps’ activities.
He added that sustained professionalism among personnel is essential to maintaining the trust of the motoring public and ensuring safer roads across the country.
