The new Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Shehu Mohammed, on Wednesday, ordered the redeployment of five senior officers.
The move was part of a strategic effort to enhance the corps’ performance and streamline operations.
The redeployments involve three Assistant Corps Marshals, one Corps Commander, and one Deputy Corps Commander.
All officers were expected to assume their new roles immediately.
Assistant Corps Marshal Jonas Agwu, previously serving as the Public Education Officer, has been appointed to lead the Administration and Human Resources Department at the FRSC headquarters.
Assistant Corps Marshal Chidi Nkwonta, who was the Commandant of the FRSC Command and Staff College in UDI, Enugu State, will now serve as the Principal Staff Officer to the Corps Marshal.
Additionally, Assistant Corps Marshal Hafeez Muhammed has been redeployed as the Zonal Commanding Officer for Zone 7.
Furthermore, Corps Commander Olusegun Ogungbemide was moved from his role in Command Administration and Strategy in the Operations Department at the National Headquarters to become the new Corps Public Education Officer.
Deputy Corps Commander Wasiu Adenekan was appointed the Technical Advisor to the Corps Marshal and head of the Corps Information Technology Office.
In a statement issued by the Corps Public Education Officer, Corps Commander Olusegun Ogungbemide, said the development was in line with the Corps Marshal’s “policy thrust targeted at strategic repositioning of the corps for optimal performance and ease of doing business.”
Mohammed urged the redeployed officers to demonstrate unwavering commitment and dedication to their duties, and “to share in the FRSC vision of making Nigerian roads safer for all motorists.”
On May 23, 2024, President Bola Tinubu appointed Mohammed as the new Corps Marshal of the FRSC.
Mohammed, an Assistant Corps Marshal, replaces Dauda Biu, who was appointed by former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2022.
