The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ekiti State Command, has elevated 104 personnel as part of its latest promotion exercise, with the beneficiaries urged to uphold professionalism and reject corrupt practices.
The promotion covers 25 officers and 79 other ranks, who were decorated during separate ceremonies held at the command headquarters and various unit commands across Ekiti State.
Speaking during the ceremonies, the Sector Commander, Sanya Adeoye, congratulated the newly promoted personnel and commended the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, for approving the promotions.
Adeoye reminded the beneficiaries that their new ranks came with greater responsibilities and expectations. He urged them to justify the confidence placed in them by demonstrating discipline, dedication and professionalism in the discharge of their duties.
The sector commander particularly warned the personnel against corruption, stressing the need for them to uphold the principles on which the FRSC was established.
He charged the promoted officers and other ranks to remain committed to the agency’s core responsibility of reducing road traffic crashes and encouraging compliance with road safety regulations.
Adeoye also offered encouragement to personnel who were not included in the latest promotion exercise, advising them to remain committed to their responsibilities and continue giving their best.
“Promotion is from God,” he said, assuring those who were not promoted that their opportunity would come in due course.
The FRSC leadership also used the occasion to appeal to motorists and other road users to obey traffic rules, particularly with the approach of the ember months, a period traditionally associated with increased vehicular movement.
The development is significant as road safety agencies prepare for increased traffic and the heightened risks that often accompany greater movement on Nigerian roads.
The latest promotions form part of the FRSC’s wider personnel advancement exercise, with the Ekiti Command beneficiaries expected to assume their new responsibilities while maintaining the agency’s standards of discipline and integrity.
The command urged the newly decorated personnel to see their promotion not merely as recognition for past service, but as a call to greater accountability and improved performance.
