Joel Ajayi
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.
