According to him, FRSC under Mohammed’s leadership has achieved significant milestones, including winning the Kofi Annan Road Safety Award as Africa’s best road safety agency.
Describing Mohammed’s leadership as strategic and results-oriented, Suberu highlighted improvements in policy implementation, technology adoption, and institutional partnerships.
“The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, has strengthened the FRSC through innovation, digital transformation, and collaboration with both local and international partners,” he said.
“His leadership style has been instrumental to the FRSC’s recent successes, earning him national and international recognition. His vision for safer roads in Nigeria is highly commendable.”
Suberu also pointed to key achievements such as the renovation of the Corps’ ICT centre and the deployment of digital systems to enhance efficiency.
He encouraged continued investment in personnel training and community engagement to sustain the progress made.
Suberu urged the Federal Government to increase funding for the FRSC to support its expanding operations.
He called on private sector organisations, such as Dangote, Julius Berger, Glo, and MTN, to contribute to national road safety efforts.
