Mohammed stressed that the FRSC badge remains a symbol of honour, responsibility and service, noting that any officer who violates the established standards of the organisation would face the full weight of its disciplinary machinery.
According to him, the Corps, as a professional paramilitary organisation, operates under strict operational guidelines and would not condone any act capable of undermining public trust, institutional integrity or its statutory mandate of safeguarding lives on the nation’s highways.
He described desertion as a grave breach of service oath and operational responsibility, particularly in a safety-critical institution entrusted with protecting millions of road users daily.
The Corps Marshal further noted that acts of scandalous behaviour and patrol misconduct directly erode public confidence and run contrary to the Corps’ core values of discipline, transparency and service excellence.
He assured Nigerians that the management would continue to intensify internal monitoring mechanisms, strengthen supervisory frameworks and promote ethical reorientation within the system to ensure optimal service delivery.
Mohammed reiterated that the Corps remained resolute in building a workforce driven by integrity, discipline and operational excellence, adding that accountability would continue to guide its administrative and operational processes.
The Corps also called on the motoring public to sustain their confidence in the FRSC and to continue supporting its mandate of creating safer roads for all.
