The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Shehu Mohammed, has described Special Marshals as a key catalyst for promoting road safety and reducing crashes and fatalities in Nigeria.
Mohammed stated this on Thursday in Dutse, Jigawa State, during the investiture of Governor Umar Namadi as Patron, Special Marshal of Nigeria and Safety Ambassador.
Represented by the Kano Sector Commander, Idris Lawal, the corps marshal said Special Marshals remained a critical volunteer arm of the FRSC, particularly in traffic management, public enlightenment, intelligence gathering and accident prevention.
“Their role in traffic management, public enlightenment, and intelligence gathering remains invaluable to achieving our corporate mandate of reducing road traffic crashes and fatalities,” he said.
Mohammed commended Namadi for his contributions to road development and safety in Jigawa, saying the recognition reflected the governor’s leadership and support for road safety initiatives in the state.
