The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has approved the promotion of 7,472 personnel comprising 2,134 Officers and 5,338 Marshals, in a major career progression exercise designed to reward merit, strengthen professionalism and inject renewed energy into the Corps’ leadership and operational structure.
The promotion, which forms part of the Corps’ continuing commitment to human capital development, recognises the dedication, competence, discipline and years of service of personnel who have distinguished themselves in the discharge of their responsibilities to the nation. The elevation of the affected personnel is therefore not merely a change in rank, but a renewed call to greater responsibility, higher standards and more impactful service to the Nigerian motoring public.
Under the new arrangement, Heads of Departments, Corps Officers, Heads of Special Units and Commanding Officers have been directed to decorate the newly promoted personnel under their respective commands from Wednesday, 26 August to Friday, 28 August 2026, in accordance with the Administrative Instruction on the Decoration of Newly Promoted Officers and Marshals.
The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, mni, described the promotion as both a reward and a responsibility, stressing that every new rank must translate into a higher level of professionalism, accountability, leadership and service delivery.
