Ogungbemide said the initiative is not just a routine administrative activity; but a statement of intent and a reflection of Corps Marshal’s faith in staff welfare, commitment to professional development, and resolve to achieve institutional excellence.
“Since his appointment as Corps Marshal, he has consistently emphasised the critical role that a motivated and well-recognised workforce plays in achieving the FRSC’s core mandate of ensuring safer roads and reducing carnages on all roads across the federation.
“Believing that by prioritising timely and merit-based promotions, the Corps is not only restoring hope among officers, but also reinforcing a culture of reward for diligence, dedication, and integrity,” he said.
According to him, the elevation was meticulously planned to ensure transparency, inclusiveness, and fairness, with all qualified personnel across the 12 Zonal Commands included in the process.
He pointed out that the development has sparked excitement and renewed morale within the Corps, with many personnel describing it as a new dawn for the FRSC workforce.
Moreso, he said beyond the promotions, the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, had rolled out various welfare enhancing policies in recent months, from improved training and capacity building programmes to better living and working conditions, as well as stronger mechanisms for staff feedback and engagement.
“In addition to the foregoing, he has also introduced other progressive staff welfare initiatives, including improved working conditions, transparent performance assessments, and targeted housing programmes.
“Expectedly, the Corps Marshal has also made it clear that this is only the beginning. Speaking during briefing of the qualified personnel, he reiterated his resolve to build a professional, highly motivated, and people-centered Corps, capable of delivering world-class road safety management in line with international standards,” he added.
