The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has introduced new reform initiatives focused on enhancing staff welfare and deepening media collaboration to reposition the agency for greater national impact.

FRSC Corps Marshal, Malam Shehu Mohammed, disclosed the new measures on Thursday during a press briefing in Abuja, highlighting the planned establishment of an in-house Health Management Office (HMO) to provide subsidised and efficient medical services for FRSC personnel.

The move, he said, was in response to repeated complaints about subpar services from external HMOs. “We are determined to address the long-standing concerns of our officers regarding access to quality healthcare,” he stated. “The FRSC HMO is one of the bold steps we are taking to achieve that.”

Alongside the healthcare reform, the Corps is revamping its public enlightenment strategy with the introduction of Breakfast Meetings and Town-Hall engagements to complement traditional motor park rallies. These formats aim to promote safety awareness among the public while encouraging internal innovation and productivity.

“These breakfast meetings foster productivity by creating a relaxed environment for cross-fertilisation of ideas among personnel,” Mohammed explained.

The Corps Marshal commended the commitment of FRSC personnel across the country, attributing recent achievements to their efforts. In 2024 alone, the FRSC received multiple honours, including the Nigeria Gov-Tech Public Service Award for Best Federal MDA in Digital Management and the Kofi Annan Road Safety Award. The Corps also retained its ISO certification for the fifth consecutive year in April 2025 and was ranked top among military and paramilitary agencies by the Centre for Fiscal Transparency and Public Integrity.

“These recognitions affirm the success of our reform strategy anchored on People, Process and Technology,” Mohammed said.

He also acknowledged the pivotal role of the media in promoting road safety and the Corps’ activities, urging continued support and constructive engagement.

“Road safety is a collective responsibility,” he noted. “We must stay united in ensuring safer highways for every Nigerian.”
