The Federal Road Safety Corps advanced more than 10,000 personnel in its 2026 promotion exercise, which covered 3,597 intermediate-rank officers and 6,408 junior officers nationwide. AllAfrica reported that officers pursuing academic and professional programmes abroad participated remotely through ICT solutions.
The exercise began June 14 across the Corps' 12 Zonal Commands under Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed.
Surveillance cameras and representatives of the Corps Marshal supervised the process, while independent observers from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Federal Character Commission were deployed. A statement issued by Deputy Corps Commander Osondu Ohaeri said the remote option prevented eligible officers from being disadvantaged by geographical location or self-development commitments.
The FRSC described the exercise as one of the largest in its history and said the technology-driven system eliminated traditional bottlenecks while ensuring merit-based assessment.
The statement added that Mohammed has placed career progression at the centre of his leadership agenda. It said dedication remains the pathway to advancement and supports building a motivated workforce for safer roads.
