•Awards lesser disciplinary actions to five
The Federal Road Safety Commission has approved the promotion of 62 Assistant Corps Commanders (ACC) to the rank of Deputy Corps Commander (DCC), 44 Chief Route Commanders (CRC) to the rank of Assistant Corps Commander (ACC), 50 Superintendent Route Commanders (SRC) to the rank of Chief Route Commander, as 128 Route Commanders got elevated to the rank of Superintendent Route Commanders (SRC).
The Board also meted punitive actions on erring officers, among whom two were dismissed, two had their appointments terminated and one awarded reduction in rank.
Three others suffered loss of seniority and one was awarded severe reprimand.
The punitive actions given were said to be as a result of varying offences committed in service.
The Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, who made the statement on Tuesday, July 6, 2021, revealed that the promotion takes effect from this month.
According to him, the approval came at the end of the meeting of the Commission, ratifying the resolution of the Establishment Committee of FRSC on promotion of Officers, where the exercise was diligently deliberated upon.
In his remarks, the Commission’s Chairman, Mallam Bukhari Bello expressed delight over the height of transparency and objectivity that ushered in the whole process, urging the promoted officers to show more commitment and continually dedicate themselves to achieving the corporate mission of the FRSC, which is to eradicate road traffic crashes and create a safer motoring environment in the country.
Bello stated that the promotion exercise was part of the Commission’s drive towards rewarding excellence, diligence and hard work which is in line with the administrative philosophy of the present leadership of the Corps imbedded in the tripod of CRP, which means Consultation, Reward, and Punishment.
Kazeem added that the Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, equally congratulated the newly elevated officers for their excellent performances during the exercise, noting that every promotion comes with greater responsibilities.
He charged them to put in their best in the course of their duties as the new rank calls for more focus, more dedication, commitment and passion.
Oyeyemi also admonished those who were not promoted this year to keep faith alive and hope for the best, as opportunities still abound for promotion in the future.
Speaking further, the Corps Marshal promised to improve the general welfare of the personnel of the Corps to the satisfaction of all.
