FRSC warns officers against participation in political rallies

The Acting Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dauda Biu, has charged Commanding Officers nationwide to ensure that staff under their purview maintain political neutrality and avoid any form of participation in political rallies and campaigns ahead of the 2023 general election.

According to a statement issued on Monday by the Assistant Corps Marshal, Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, the directive was given in reference to the FRSC (Establishment) Act which stipulates the status of the Corps as a public service agency that does not have any political affiliation, but solely established to provide essential services to all citizens, irrespective of their political interests, or representation.

Kazeem added that Commanding Officers were directed to be sensitive to the plight of road users and prepare to tackle any traceable traffic gridlock that could arise as a result of the political activities by ensuring adequate deployment of personnel for ease of movement in form of traffic controls and traffic calming.

“He reassured the public of the Corps’ readiness and commitment to making the roads safer at all times and admonished them to always abide by established road traffic regulations,” Kazeem noted.
