The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has once again been recognized for its exceptional role in ensuring the safety and smooth operation of Nigeria’s critical road networks, particularly around the APAPA business area and the nation at large.
During a recent courtesy visit by the Corps Marshal to the Nigeria Shippers’ Council (NSC), the Executive Secretary/CEO of the NSC, Barrister Akutah Pius Ukeyima, expressed deep appreciation for the unwavering support provided by the FRSC in safeguarding the nation’s road corridors.
In his remarks, Barrister Akutah referred to the Corps Marshal as his “brother,” underscoring the close partnership between the two institutions. He highlighted the critical role that the FRSC has played in decongesting the once gridlocked APAPA business area, a transformation that has been pivotal in enabling the safe and efficient movement of cargo for the Council’s numerous clients.
“The FRSC’s commitment to maintaining safety on our roads has not only facilitated smoother operations within APAPA but has also significantly contributed to the broader economic stability of our nation,” Barr. Akutah said. “Their efforts have been nothing short of transformative, and we at the Nigeria Shippers’ Council are immensely grateful.”
The Executive Secretary further acknowledged the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed for his passion, noting that the FRSC’s strategic interventions have directly impacted the successes achieved by the NSC since he took over the affairs of the Council.
In closing, Barr. Akutah Pius extended his prayers for the continued prosperity of the FRSC and its dedicated staff, reaffirming the Council’s commitment to deepening its collaboration with the Corps to achieve even greater milestones.
The Federal Road Safety Corps remains a cornerstone in Nigeria’s drive towards safer roadways and economic resilience. Through its unwavering dedication and strategic partnerships, the FRSC continues to set the standard for road safety and operational excellence in the country.

Musawa Seeks Broader Significance for June 12
Joel Ajayi
The Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, Esq., says June 12 must be remembered as a sacrifice that gave Nigerians democracy, beyond its status as a public holiday.
In a statement signed on Saturday by the Senior Assistant Media & Publicity to the Honourable Minister,Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy Dr Nneka Ikem Anibeze Ph.D in Abuja.
Musawa stated this at the national premiere of “MKO”, a film on Chief Moshood Abiola, held at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts, Lagos, to mark Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary.
She said 33 years after June 12, 1993, many young Nigerians know it only as a holiday, but the film turns it back into memory.
“For too many young Nigerians, June 12 is simply a public holiday. This film tells them that our democracy did not arrive by chance. It was fought for. It was defended. It was paid for. This documentary is in honour of the heroes of June 12, the men and women who gave their lives for the mandate of June 12, 1993 and for the democracy Nigeria enjoys today,” the Minister said.
Musawa hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Chief Host, for his participation in the June 12 struggle and paying the price in exile, adding that Nigeria’s creative industry will keep telling the story of its democracy with courage.
“Through film and the creative economy, Nigeria will preserve its history. A nation that forgets its past loses its way to the future. Nigeria has a story and our story deserves to be told,” she said.
Earlier, the director of the investigative documentary, Ose Oyamendan, said the film was in honour and memory of heroes who fought for Nigeria’s democracy.
“There was Hope ’93 and now there is Renewed Hope. There was a man who sacrificed his life so we may have democracy and there is a man who almost lost his life fighting for democracy who is now helping build a lasting democracy.
“There was a great man called Bashorun MKO Abiola and there is now another great man called Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Democrats. Nationalists. Nation builders. Leaders of men and women. We must never forget our story. We must always honour and remember our heroes,” Oyamendan said.
Top government officials including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the wife of the President Senator Oluremi Tinubu; Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Chief of Staff to the President Rt. Femi Gbajabiamila, state Governors, members of the National Assembly, Ministers and other distinguished dignitaries attended the premiere.
