The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Malam Shehu Mohammed, has pledged to take stringent action against officers involved in bribery, corruption, drug abuse, and incivility toward motorists.
Speaking at the 2025 Half-Year Strategy Session in Abuja, themed “Driving Change from Within: Reinforcing Integrity, Accountability, and Performance,” Mohammed addressed commanding officers on the need to restore discipline and professionalism within the Corps.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Mohammed highlighted concerns over patrol misconduct, including bribery, corruption, absenteeism, drug abuse, and increasing incivility toward the public.
He noted that these issues undermine the FRSC’s internal administrative control and tarnish its public image, despite the high expectations Nigerians have for the Corps to deliver on its mandate.
Mohammed stressed that the strategy session’s discussions must focus on solutions to reposition the FRSC for accountability and excellence, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda to enhance road safety and public welfare.
He emphasized the importance of leadership responsibility and enforcing the chain of command to curb indiscipline across FRSC commands.
“There is a need to enforce standards against absenteeism, apathy, and duty abandonment in the Corps, as well as reward performance and accountability as a motivating factor for improvement in the system.
“Commanding officers must put in effort to manage emerging behavioural threats affecting our productivity and public perspective;
“Commanding officers must identify changes in behavioural patterns and establish possible causes and apply the required disciplinary sanctions and do more with less.
He also said that they must be innovative in strategic partnerships in the face of funding challenges and must improve relationships with state governments to support some critical operations.
