The Federal Road Safety Corps has approved the promotion of 7,472 personnel comprising 2,134 officers and 5,338 marshals.

The corps said the promotion was aimed at rewarding merit, strengthening professionalism and improving leadership and service delivery.

In a statement on Friday, the Corps Public Education Officer, Osondu Ohaeri, said the newly promoted personnel would be decorated between Wednesday, August 26 and Friday, August 28, 2026.

He said heads of departments, corps officers, heads of special units and commanding officers had been directed to decorate the affected personnel under their respective commands.

The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, described the promotion as both a reward and a call to greater responsibility.

Mohammed urged the promoted personnel to demonstrate professionalism, accountability, discipline and respect for members of the public in the discharge of their duties.

He said the elevation was expected to motivate the personnel to contribute more effectively to the corps’ efforts to reduce road traffic crashes and improve compliance with traffic regulations nationwide.

Corps Marshal also charged them to uphold the integrity of the FRSC and justify the confidence reposed in them by the Federal Government and Nigerians.

The FRSC said the promotion formed part of its efforts to strengthen human capital and build a more professional and performance-driven workforce.
