The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has commenced a high-level strategic leadership training programme for 305 senior officers as part of efforts to enhance operational efficiency, professionalism, and service delivery across the country.
The week-long programme, which opened at the ICT Training Hall of the FRSC Headquarters in Abuja, brought together Chief Route Commanders (CRCs) and Assistant Corps Commanders (ACCs) drawn from various formations nationwide, including RS7 Abuja, RS7.1 FCT, RS7.2 Niger, and their respective unit commands. The announcement was contained in a statement signed by Osondu Ohaeri, Deputy Corps Commander and Corps Public Education Officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps Headquarters, Abuja.
The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, in an address delivered on his behalf by the Deputy Corps Marshal in charge of Training, Abiodun Akinlade, described the initiative as a key pillar of ongoing institutional reforms within the Corps.
He noted that modern road safety management requires more adaptive leadership approaches, emotional intelligence, and improved operational judgment, stressing that conventional enforcement methods alone are no longer sufficient to address evolving traffic challenges.
According to him, the training is designed to strengthen leadership capacity, improve coordination across commands, deepen mentorship culture, and reinforce ethical standards among senior officers who serve as the critical link between policy direction and field operations.
The Corps Marshal further explained that the programme aligns with a broader capacity development framework aimed at institutionalising continuous learning and professional excellence across all levels of the organisation.
He also commended the Training Department for developing the initiative and appreciated Ai-Protech Solutions for its partnership in supporting the programme’s successful implementation.
At the conclusion of the training, the FRSC expected participants to return with enhanced leadership skills, improved strategic orientation, and stronger capacity to drive safer roads and more effective service delivery nationwide.
