The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says several programmes designed for the year 2025 ember months campaign are to ensure that the highway is safe and secure for road users.
The Corps Marshal, Malam Shehu Mohammed, stated this during the 12th FRSC Valedictory Lecture Series in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the lecture series was in honour of Deputy Corps Marshal (DCM), in charge of Training, Chidiebere Nkwonta who retired from service having attained the age of 60.
Mohammed said the corps would sustain the ongoing reforms to align with global road safety best practices across the 36 states including Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This, he emphasised, would be through the use of various technology as tools to enhance operations in the country.
“The corps will not leave any stone unturned in checking the excesses of motorists and ensuring effective traffic management before, during and after ember months special operations,” he maintained.
The FRSC boss commended the contributions of the retired DCM Nkwonta to the growth of FRSC.
Mohammed urged those in service to emulate the outstanding performance of the officer, adding that the corps would build on the legacy of the retired senior officer.
In his lecture titled “How to Navigate the Vagaries of the Nigerian Public Service: My Experience, A Good Teacher”, Nkwonta appealed to the younger officers to carry out any assignment committed into their hands diligently.
According to him, it pays to be loyal and committed to the service.
Nkwonta eulogised some of the retired senior officers for providing good mentorship, adding that it equipped him to be a reckoned officer in his 35 years in meritorious service.
The retired DCM pledged to make himself available at any time being called upon.
Former Minister of Information, Frank Nweke, and others who spoke at the occasion, praised the family of the retired officer for their total support that made the retired DCM an outstanding officer. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
