The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed has kicked off a high-level national capacity-building programme for 305 Chief Route Commanders (CRCs) and Assistant Corps Commanders (ACCs). The programme is part of ongoing reforms to enhance operational leadership, professionalism and service delivery within the Corps.
The week long strategic training programme which started today at the ICT Training Hall, Federal Road Safety Headquarters, Abuja is attracting participants from formations across the country including Federal Road Safety Headquarters, Zone RS7 Abuja, RS7.1 FCT, RS7.2 Niger and their component Unit Commands.
The Deputy Corps Marshal Training, Abiodun Akinlade represented the Corps Marshal at the inaugural ceremony and read the keynote message on behalf of the Corps Marshal.
In his address, the Corps Marshal described the programme as a critical aspect of the Corps’ broader institutional transformation agenda, noting that the modern road safety environment demands adaptive leadership, emotional intelligence and sound operational judgment and enhanced public engagement skills.
He explained the Corps can no longer rely simply on conventional enforcement approaches to solve developing road safety concerns, adding officers in strategic leadership positions must evolve with the reality of current traffic management and public expectations.
“The training was well crafted to enhance leadership capacity, operational coordination, mentorship culture and ethical standards for senior officers who are the critical link between policy implementation and field operations,” he said.
The Corps Marshal also restated that the program is part of an on-going capacity building framework geared at institutionalising continuous learning and professional excellence across all cadres of the corps.
He applauded the Training Department for coming up with the concept of the initiative and thanked Ai-Protech Solutions for their collaboration and help in ensuring the course was successfully executed.
At the completion of the program, the Corps hopes to create a new generation of operational leaders with the skills, mindset and strategic orientation to accelerate safer roads, better command efficiency and improved service delivery across the country.
