In a continued effort to ensure professionalism, competence, and merit-based advancement within its ranks, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) on Thursday, May 30, 2025, conducted oral interviews for officers holding the rank of Assistant Corps Commanders (ACCs). The exercise, overseen by the FRSC Management Promotion Board, forms a key component of the ongoing 2025 promotion process.
Held at the Corps Headquarters in Abuja, the oral interviews are aimed at assessing the leadership capacity, operational knowledge, and strategic readiness of eligible officers for promotion to the next rank of Deputy Corps Commander (DCC)—a critical leadership level within the FRSC hierarchy.
According to a statement released by the Corps Public Education Officer, the oral session represents a crucial evaluation phase that supplements earlier written assessments and service record reviews. The process, which is designed to be transparent and merit-driven, ensures that only the most capable and qualified officers are elevated to higher responsibilities in line with the Corps’ vision of excellence.
The Corps Marshal, Dauda Ali Biu, in a brief remark during the interview session, emphasized the importance of character, experience, and leadership judgment in senior command roles. He noted that the promotion process is not just a reward mechanism but a strategic investment in the Corps’ future leadership.
“The integrity of our promotion process is the backbone of our institutional strength. We are building a team that is not only technically sound but also morally upright and capable of handling the demands of road safety management in a dynamic environment,” Biu said.
He charged the participating officers to remain focused and committed to the Corps’ mandate of reducing road crashes, saving lives, and promoting safe motoring culture across Nigeria.
The FRSC continues to uphold a tradition of periodic evaluations to foster accountability, operational efficiency, and career growth within the service. The results of the promotion exercise are expected to be released in the coming weeks, with successful officers assuming new roles that will support the Corps’ broader strategic goals under the 2025 road safety action framework.
