Leading From the Front: How FRSC Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed is Revolutionizing Road Safety This Festive Season
Leading From the Front: How FRSC Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed is Revolutionizing Road Safety This Festive Season”
As the year winds down and Nigerians embark on end-of-year travels, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has ramped up efforts to curb road crashes and ensure safer highways. At the forefront of this campaign is the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, who has set an exemplary standard of sacrificial leadership by actively participating in frontline operations during this critical period.
The festive season is notoriously perilous on Nigeria’s roads, characterized by increased traffic, heightened crash risks, and reckless driving. Recognizing these challenges, the FRSC, under the proactive leadership of the Corps Marshal, has launched an unprecedented campaign to minimize road accidents and fatalities. This initiative aims to ensure that the festive season is marked by joy rather than tragedy.
True leadership is defined by action, and Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed exemplifies this principle. Leading by example, he has personally participated in field operations, patrolling highways, monitoring traffic flows, and directly engaging with road users. His visible presence has reinvigorated the morale of FRSC officers and demonstrated that leadership is about service and sacrifice.
Defying the risks of highway insecurity, the Corps Marshal embarked on a traffic monitoring operation from Abuja, the Federal Capital, through Kogi, Ekiti, Ondo, Owo, Ore, Edo, and Delta states. His decision to lead from the front underscores his commitment to the FRSC’s mission of saving lives and highlights the urgency of compliance with traffic rules.
From the beginning of the Ember Months sensitization campaign in September, the FRSC rolled out a series of robust measures to address road safety challenges during the festive season:
Increased Patrols and Checkpoints: Additional officers and vehicles were deployed to strategic points on highways to monitor and enforce compliance with traffic laws.
Nationwide Safety Campaigns: These campaigns targeted speed violations, drunk driving, overloading, and seatbelt use, educating drivers on the dangers of reckless behaviors while emphasizing safe driving practices.
Emergency Response Preparedness: Ambulances, tow trucks, and rescue teams are on standby to ensure rapid responses to emergencies, reducing fatalities and injuries in the event of crashes.
The FRSC also strengthened partnerships with key stakeholders, including the Nigeria Police Force, transport unions, traditional rulers, and local communities, to foster a united front in the battle against road crashes.
Inspiring Leadership and Impact
The Corps Marshal’s leadership has inspired both FRSC personnel and the general public. His direct involvement sends a clear message that road safety is a shared responsibility requiring collective commitment.
“The Corps Marshal’s hands-on approach during this critical period has not only motivated the FRSC team but also restored public confidence in the agency’s commitment to saving lives,” remarked a motorist who witnessed the Marshal’s activities firsthand on the Niger Bridge.
Preliminary results from monitoring activities across major corridors indicate a noticeable reduction in road crashes and fatalities compared to previous years. The intensified efforts, driven by the Corps Marshal’s example, have brought renewed vigor to FRSC operations, ensuring that every life is valued and protected.
The Corps Marshal’s leadership serves as a reminder that effective leadership requires sacrifice, action, and a deep commitment to service. As Nigerians travel this festive season, the FRSC calls on all road users to support its efforts by adhering to traffic rules, avoiding risky behaviors, and prioritizing safety.
Together, with the dedication of the FRSC and the visionary leadership of Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed, a safer, accident-free festive season is within reach.
By setting the pace through his sacrificial leadership and bold initiatives, Shehu Mohammed continues to inspire his team and stakeholders to join forces in making Nigeria’s roads safer.
This season, let us all commit to safer roads, honoring the sacrifices of those working tirelessly to protect lives.

Zamfara State Launches Landmark IDP Policy and Action Plan as UNDP, Northwest Forum Pledge Support
Zamfara State Launches Landmark IDP Policy and Action Plan as UNDP, Northwest Forum Pledge Support
In a significant move to address the humanitarian crisis wrought by banditry and internal displacement, the Executive Governor of Zamfara State, His Excellency Dr. Dauda Lawal, has officially launched a comprehensive policy framework and action plan aimed at delivering durable solutions for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the state.
The Governor attended the joint launch ceremony for the IDP Policy and the State Action Plan on Durable Solutions, an initiative simultaneously rolled out for both Katsina and Zamfara States in the nations capital Abuja today Feburary 16, 2026. The event marks a pivotal moment in the region’s approach to managing displacement, shifting from emergency response to long-term, sustainable recovery.
The ambitious programme is the product of a strategic collaboration between the Northwest Governors Forum and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This partnership underscores a unified, regional acknowledgment that the challenges of displacement require coordinated, multi-state solutions that address root causes and build lasting resilience.
For Zamfara State, which has borne the brunt of years of insecurity, the new policy is being hailed not merely as a bureaucratic formality, but as a binding social contract with its most vulnerable citizens. It establishes a clear roadmap for restoring the dignity of displaced families, with a laser focus on rebuilding shattered communities and creating viable pathways for safe return, peaceful resettlement, and sustainable reintegration.
The framework goes beyond temporary relief, outlining concrete strategies to help displaced populations not just survive, but ultimately thrive in safety. It seeks to transform the lives of those who have lost their homes and livelihoods by ensuring they are active participants in the state’s recovery.
Speaking at the launch, Governor Lawal reaffirmed the administration’s unwavering commitment to translating the policy document into tangible, measurable impact on the ground. “Under my leadership, we remain committed to ensuring that this framework translates into measurable impact for our people.”
The launch signals a new chapter for Zamfara, one focused on healing and forward momentum. By anchoring the response in a durable solutions framework, the state government aims to build systemic resilience, strengthen the capacity of local institutions to manage future crises, and ultimately, shape a more secure, stable, and inclusive future for all residents of Zamfara State.
