FRSC Zone RS 8 Benefits from Corps Marshal’s Repositioning Training Initiative

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has initiated a Repositioning training program for the Marshal Cadre, aimed at enhancing the service delivery of their non-commissioned officers across the nation. This training, held at the RS 8 Command in Kwara state, was conducted by Deputy Corps Marshal Joshua Fanola (Rtd.). The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, addressed the participants, emphasizing that the initiative, titled "Repositioning Marshals for Effective Service Delivery," is a strategic investment in the capacity, discipline, and competence of frontline personnel.

Mohammed highlighted that the training aligns with the Corps’ 2026 Corporate Strategic Goals, focusing on operational excellence, institutional integrity, digital transformation, and a reduction in road traffic crashes. He underscored that marshals, as the most visible representatives of the FRSC, significantly impact public confidence in the organization.

The training will cover the FRSC Establishment Act, operational procedures, traffic management, emergency response, ethical conduct, emotional intelligence, and public engagement.

Phase one of the program, covering RS1HQ Kaduna and RS5HQ Benin, was successfully completed on July 29-30, 2026, with subsequent phases planned for the remaining zones. The Corps Marshal called on participants to approach the training with humility and commitment, stressing the practical application of the knowledge gained in patrol operations, emergency response, public engagement, and respect for human rights. Facilitators were urged to make the sessions interactive, addressing contemporary challenges.

The FRSC Training Department organized this initiative, and the Corps Marshal assured that capacity development will remain a priority. He expressed confidence that the program would produce better-trained marshals, contributing to safer roads, improved traffic management, and increased public trust in the FRSC. Participants expressed optimism that the training would enhance their professionalism and effectiveness.
