The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has launched a comprehensive training program for Patrol Team Leaders across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Sector Command and its component Units.
The initiative, approved by the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, is designed to reposition the Corps as a bastion of civility, discipline, and service excellence on Nigerian roads.
According to the Corps Public Education Officer, Mr Olusegun Ogungbemide, the intervention is aimed at sanitising field operations, eliminating corruption, and restoring public trust in road safety management.
By training frontline leaders who directly interact with motorists, the Corps seeks to create a ripple effect of professionalism that strengthens accountability, enhances discipline within the ranks, and guarantees a zero tolerance posture towards unethical conduct.
Declaring the workshop open, Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed warned that every patrol leader must embody civility, empathy, and professionalism, stressing that the Corps under his leadership will not compromise on discipline and integrity.
He further directed that this training be cascaded down to all FRSC commands nationwide, ensuring a uniform standard of civility and accountability across the country.
“Every patrol team leader must be an ambassador of civility and integrity; anything less is unacceptable,” he charged.
The capacity development session featured a powerful address by ACM Hyginus Omeje, who reinforced the principles of courtesy, accountability, and zero tolerance for unethical practices, with a stern warning that any officer found guilty of misconduct will face swift and decisive sanctions.
This was followed by an incisive presentation by the Corps Public Education Officer, ACM Olusegun Ogungbemide, on “Safeguarding the Image of the Corps.”
Ultimately, this strategic reform is not just about training, it is about reshaping culture and character. By empowering team leaders with the right values and tools, the Corps is building a new crop of officers who will lead by example, protect the Corps’ image, and ensure safer and more orderly roads for all Nigerians.
