By Mohammed Tijjani

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Kaduna State Sector Command, on Monday, decorated 86 newly-promoted officers with their new ranks.

FRSC Sector Commander in the state, Zubairu Mato, while decorating the officers, urged them to be more focused, dedicated and show more passion for their job.

Mato described the command as one of the luckiest, as more than 86 officers were promoted to various ranks.

He noted that the officers were promoted on Jan. 6 through a transparent and objective process.

The sector commander said that the promotion of the officers was part of the corps’ drive toward excellence, hard work and diligence, in line with the administrative philosophy of the present FRSC leadership.

He advised those who were not lucky to be promoted to exercise patience, continue to work hard and read regularly.

“Promotion in FRSC is very rigorous. You have to go for physical fitness exercise, computer basic test, regional examination and interview.

“Your annual evaluation will also be scrutinized. All these processes are very tasking and demanding,” he said.

Mato congratulated the newly-promoted officers for their performances during the promotion exercise, noting, however, that every promotion came with responsibilities.

“You must be more focused, dedicated and show more passion for your job,” he said.

The sector commander also urged them to be more committed to achieving the corporate mission of the corps, which, he said, was to reduce road traffic crashes to the barest minimum in the country.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the officers promoted to new ranks included: 20 Chief Route Commanders (CRCs), 30 Superintendent Route Commanders (SRCs), 17 Route Commanders (RCs) and Deputy Route Commanders (DRCs).

NAN also reports that security agencies present at the occasion included: the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police Force, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and Department of State Services (DSS).

Others were: Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigeria Correctional Service and Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), among others.

Mr Joseph Attaguba, a Chief Route Commander, who spoke on behalf of the newly-promoted officers, appreciate FRSC management for finding them worthy for the promotion.

Attaguba, who noted that the promotion came with lots of responsibilities, pledged their dedication and commitment to contributing their own quota toward achieving FRSC’s mandate. (NAN)
