Meanwhile, the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, while congratulating the officers, described the exercise as a reflection of the Corps’ commitment to excellence, discipline, and structured career progression.
Mohammed also charged the beneficiaries to justify the confidence reposed in them by demonstrating higher levels of dedication, leadership, and professionalism in the discharge of their duties.
He further emphasised that promotion within the FRSC is not merely a reward but a call to greater responsibility.
He therefore urged the beneficiaries to bring their wealth of experience to bear in advancing the Corps’ mandate of reducing road traffic crashes and creating safer motoring environments across the country.
The Corps also directed all promoted officers not to adorn their new ranks until they are formally decorated, in line with established procedures.
