The new Corps Marshal of Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Shehu Mohmmed, says modalities have been put in place to eliminate delay in accessing drivers licence and number plates.

Mohammed gave the assurance in Abuja at a reception organised in his honour by the Alumnus of College of Advance Studies (CAS) Zaria on Saturday.

In particular in the FCT, the corps marshal promised to address the persistent complaints about access to drivers licenses and number plates being delayed.

“I went on a facility assessment in our FCT office today, the causes of the delay are numerous, some are internal, while others are technical and financial,” he said.

The head of the FRSC announced that he had called in the supervisors and technical partners to come up with quick fixes for the issue.

“I want to assure you that the number plate’s problems will be over, and FCT is our priority,” Mr Mohammed said.

He also discussed the FRSC’s initiatives to lower the number of traffic accidents and guarantee that traffic laws are strictly followed.

In order to make Nigerian roads safer for everyone, he therefore asked for the assistance of all Nigerians, especially drivers.

“I have more than 36,000 staff with 600 formations nationwide, but it is a herculean task, and I need your support,” he added.

The new Corps Marshal expressed appreciation for the solidarity and recognition by the association.

“It is gratifying for me to interact with my school and classmates of whom I am meeting today after many years,’’ he said.

He described his appointment as destined by God and pledged to justify the confidence reposed in him by President Bola Tinubu.

In his address, the Chairman of the Alumni association, Comrade Kabiru Shehu, said the reception was organised to honor the corpse marshal for attaining the peak of his career.

“Shehu Mohmmed was known to be a brilliant, intelligent and humble student, this is what led to his success,’’ he said.

He urged the new corps marshal to work hard towards improving the operations of the organisation.
