FRSC redeploys five assistant corps marshals, eight others

The Federal Road Safety Corps has redeployed 13 senior officers across various commands and departments.

The FRSC said the redeployment is a strategic move aimed at strengthening operational effectiveness, institutional capacity and service delivery.

The redeployment, approved by the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, affects officers across senior management and operational positions.

In a statement by the Corps Public Education Officer, National Headquarters, Osondu Ohaeri, shared on the Corps’ X handle on Thursday, the FRSC said the exercise was designed to “inject fresh perspectives, leverage professional competencies and ensure that officers are deployed where their experience and capabilities can deliver the greatest institutional value.”

Five Assistant Corps Marshals are among the senior officers affected by the redeployment.

ACM GO Omiko, PhD, formerly ACM Special Duties and External Relations (SDER), has been redeployed as ACM in charge of Operations Department.

ACM EF Akinlade, MInstTA, formerly ACM Research, will now serve as ACM Command Administration and Strategy in Operations at the national headquarters, Abuja.

Similarly, ACM JO Asaolu, PSC, MInstTA, formerly ACM Policy Advisory Unit, has been redeployed to take over as ACM Research.

ACM MB Ibrahim, formerly ACM Special Marshals, will now serve as ACM Special Duties and External Relations, while ACM FA Ogidan, formerly ACM Command Administration and Strategy at RSHQ Operations, has been redeployed as Zonal Commanding Officer, RS10HQ, Sokoto.

The Corps Marshal described the movement as “a normal feature of a dynamic organisation committed to continuous improvement.”

He said, “Strategic deployment remains essential to building a responsive, agile and performance-driven road safety institution.”

According to him, “the FRSC must continuously optimise its human resources in line with emerging road safety realities and the changing demands of traffic management and enforcement across the country.”

The Corps said the redeployment also underscored its commitment to “professionalism, accountability, operational discipline and effective leadership,” while ensuring that its commands remain adequately positioned to respond to evolving challenges in road transportation and road safety administration.

The affected officers have been directed to report to their new commands and assume duty with immediate effect, while ensuring a “seamless and properly documented handing/taking over process.”

The Corps Marshal charged the redeployed officers to regard their new assignments “not merely as changes in location or responsibility, but as renewed opportunities to contribute meaningfully to the Corps’ mandate of reducing road traffic crashes and making Nigerian roads safer for all users.”

He further urged them to bring “the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, innovation and commitment” to their new commands, noting that “every posting is a call to greater responsibility and every assignment is an opportunity to make a measurable difference.”

The FRSC leadership said it remained focused on building “a stronger, more responsive and performance-oriented institution” capable of delivering on its statutory mandate and advancing the national road safety agenda.
