FRSC Targets Stronger Capacity, Improved Road Safety Service Delivery
ABUJA — The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reaffirmed its commitment to improving road safety service delivery by strengthening institutional capacity, enhancing operational efficiency, and leveraging technology to address emerging challenges in Nigeria’s transport sector.
Speaking during the Half-Year 2026 Corps Marshal Strategy Session with the FRSC High Command in Abuja, Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed said the Corps recorded notable achievements in the second quarter of 2026 across key operational areas, including enforcement, public education, emergency response, patrol operations, and stakeholder engagement.
The strategy session, themed “Strengthening Institutional Capacity for Enhanced Service Delivery in a Challenging Environment,” was convened to review the Corps’ performance, assess the implementation of previous resolutions, identify operational gaps, and develop practical strategies for improved service delivery.
Mohammed stressed that the achievements recorded so far should serve as motivation to build a stronger, more resilient institution capable of providing efficient and responsive road safety services rather than encouraging complacency.
He noted that rapid technological advancements, changing traffic patterns, increasing vehicle ownership, evolving mobility trends, and rising public expectations require the Corps to continuously improve its systems and operational processes.
According to him, the FRSC must strengthen institutional capacity through effective leadership, personnel development, technology-driven operations, improved data management, innovation, accountability, and prudent resource utilisation.
“The FRSC must remain an institution that anticipates emerging challenges rather than merely responding to them,” he said.
The Corps Marshal urged members of the High Command to provide strategic leadership that would reposition the organisation for greater efficiency and effectiveness while encouraging open, evidence-based and solution-oriented discussions throughout the session.
He also emphasised the need for stronger coordination among commands and formations, noting that institutional effectiveness depends on collaboration, shared responsibility, and a unified commitment to service excellence.
Mohammed commended officers and personnel of the Corps for their dedication, professionalism, and sacrifices in safeguarding lives on Nigerian roads, describing them as the organisation’s greatest asset. He pledged continued efforts to provide the necessary tools, training, and enabling environment required for them to perform effectively.
He reaffirmed the Corps’ commitment to the core values of integrity, discipline, professionalism, accountability, and respect for the rule of law, describing them as essential to maintaining public confidence and preserving the FRSC’s reputation as a leading public safety institution.
The Corps Marshal also appreciated the support of President Bola Tinubu and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, for their commitment to strengthening public institutions under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Representing the SGF at the event, Permanent Secretary, General Services Office, Abubakar Kana, said the strategy session reflected the government’s commitment to building stronger institutions, improving professionalism, and enhancing service delivery.
Kana reiterated that the Tinubu administration remains committed to strengthening public institutions and acknowledged the FRSC’s critical role in protecting lives, promoting safer roads, and supporting national development.
He said the strategy session provides an opportunity to evaluate performance, identify operational challenges, and develop practical solutions that will further improve the Corps’ effectiveness.
He added that with increasing traffic volumes, technological advancements, and evolving security concerns, the FRSC must continue investing in its personnel, systems, and technology to remain responsive to the country’s road safety needs.
