Kalu said the promotion, approved by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, takes effect from January 1, 2026.

Kalu noted that the development marked another step toward building a highly motivated, disciplined and result-driven workforce committed to saving lives on Nigerian roads.

She stated: “A breakdown of the exercise shows that 19 officers were elevated to the rank of Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM), 55 Deputy Corps Commanders (DCC) promoted to Corps Commander (CC).

“Others are 46 Assistant Corps Commanders (ACC) advanced to Deputy Corps Commander (DCC).”

The FRSC spokesperson said the promotions were in recognition of the officers’ exemplary service records, leadership competence and sustained contributions to the advancement of the Corps.

The Corps Marshal, Malam Shehu Mohammed, congratulated the newly promoted officers, describing the exercise as a reflection of the FRSC’s commitment to excellence, discipline, and structured career progression.

Mohammed charged the officers to justify the confidence reposed in them by demonstrating higher levels of dedication, leadership and professionalism in the discharge of their duties.

He, however, emphasised that promotion within the FRSC should not be seen merely as a reward but as a call to greater responsibility.

He also directed that all promoted officers should not adorn their new ranks until they were formally decorated, in line with established procedures.
