OYEYEMI APPOINTS NEW COMMANDANT, FRSC ACADEMY, UDI

The Federal Road Safety Corps has appointed Assistant Corps Marshal Nseobong Charles Akpabio as the new Commandant FRSC Academy, Udi, Enugu State.

Akpabio was the Zonal Commanding Officer, Zone RS 3, Yola before his recent appointment.

In a statement by the Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, ACM Akpabio would take over from Assistant Corps Marshal Edward Zamber, who had been redeployed to RS3HQ Zonal Command Yola, Adamawa State as the Zonal Commanding Officer.

Other officers posted to the academy included the “Deputy Corps Commander, Obed Shekarau, who is set to resume as the academy’s Head of Department, Physical and Regimental Studies; DCC Chorrie Mutaa as Head of School, General Studies, DCC Silas Eze as Head of Studies, Information and Communication Technology and Chief Route Commander Boniface Iyakhemie to resume as Provost of the Academy among others.”

Speaking during the induction of the newly posted officers at the academy, the Corps Marshal charged them in a paper titled, ‘ Ethics, Commitment, Patriotism and Service Delivery’ that the FRSC as a public organization with a commitment to eradicate road traffic crashes through well-defined strategies cannot afford to fail in its responsibilities.

Oyeyemi said, “As members of the Corps, we must make optimal contributions to its growth and development which are predicated on public approval of quality service delivery.”

He called on the newly redeployed Commandant and other staff of the academy to work within the ambit of the regulations guiding their performance.

“Those who have been charged with leadership responsibilities must lead and guide their wards well within the regulations while the followers must also comport themselves well to achieve the desired symmetry of overall accomplishment. Anything short of this would result in an aberration capable of tarnishing the hard-earned reputation of the Corps and we cannot allow this to happen”
