The Acting Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dauda Biu, has charged Commanding Officers nationwide to ensure that staff under their purview maintain political neutrality and avoid any form of participation in political rallies and campaigns ahead of the 2023 general election.
According to a statement issued on Monday by the Assistant Corps Marshal, Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, the directive was given in reference to the FRSC (Establishment) Act which stipulates the status of the Corps as a public service agency that does not have any political affiliation, but solely established to provide essential services to all citizens, irrespective of their political interests, or representation.

“He reassured the public of the Corps’ readiness and commitment to making the roads safer at all times and admonished them to always abide by established road traffic regulations,” Kazeem noted.
