President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of Mr Dauda Biu as the acting Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
The appointment followed the retirement of Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, who retired on Sunday, July 24.
Oyeyemi, in a statement issued by the Corps Public Education Officer (CPEO), Assistant Corps Marshal Bisi Kareem, said disclosed the appointment of the acting Corps Marshal when he handed over to Biu at the FRSC headquartres in Abuja on Monday.
Oyeyemi said Biu’s appointment took effect from July 24 and wished him a successful tenure as he assumed office.
Speaking, the FRSC Board Chairman, Bukhari Bello, congratulated Biu on his appointment and urged him to sustain the tempo as well as ensure that he justify his appointment.
Bello said the former Corps Marshal laid a good foundation for the corps and urged the acting Corps Marshal to continue where he stopped.
Biu, however, appreciated the management of the FRSC and the presidency for the appointment just as he pledged to justify the appointment.
Before his appointment, Dauda Biu was the Deputy Corps Marshal, Finance and Accounts at the FRSC headquarters.
He joined the FRSC in 1988 and has had a fruitful career working across several formations.
He holds a master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Ahmadu Bello University and was the Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM) Finance and Accounts in 2014 before becoming the DCM in 2016.
