In a spirit of gratitude and national reflection, an interdenominational thanksgiving service was held to mark 61 years of dedicated service and sacrifice by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), drawing worshippers, officials, and dignitaries from across religious and professional lines.
The solemn service, which took place in Abuja, was attended by senior government officials, religious leaders, officers of the Corps, and members of the public, all gathered to honour the institution’s enduring legacy and thank God for over six decades of impact in promoting safety, saving lives, and maintaining order on Nigeria’s roads.
The event featured scripture readings, hymns, prayers, and messages of hope delivered by Christian and Muslim clerics who spoke passionately about the importance of national unity, sacrifice, and the divine hand that has preserved the institution through trials, triumphs, and transitions.
In his remarks, the Corps Marshal of the FRSC described the occasion as not just a celebration, but a call to renewed dedication. He praised the courage and commitment of officers—past and present—who have served Nigeria faithfully, often under difficult and dangerous conditions.
“Today is a moment of thanksgiving—not only for how far we have come, but also for the strength to continue. We remember our fallen heroes, we honour those still serving, and we rededicate ourselves to the cause of safer roads and a better Nigeria,” he said.
Religious leaders present commended the FRSC for maintaining an inclusive and disciplined workforce, noting that its spiritual foundation contributes to its resilience and moral compass. They offered prayers for divine protection over officers and for peace to reign across the country.
The thanksgiving service also provided an opportunity to reflect on the broader message of national sacrifice and the value of public service in building a just and prosperous society. Attendees were urged to carry the spirit of service into their daily lives and to uphold the principles of integrity, empathy, and accountability.
As Nigeria continues to confront modern challenges—from road safety to security and governance—the interfaith gathering served as a reminder that faith, unity, and gratitude remain powerful tools in shaping a hopeful and responsible nation.
The event concluded with a resounding chorus of praise, as the congregation stood united in thanksgiving for 61 years of national duty and divine preservation.
