The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Kano State, has decorated 261 newly promoted personnel with new ranks across the 44 Local Government Areas of the state.
The Sector Commander of the Corps, Idris Lawal, who spoke during the decoration on Thursday in Kano, said they were among those who succeeded in the last promotion examination of the corps.
Lawal, represented by Deputy Corps Commander Mohammed Bello Yakubu, said the promotion covered officers and marshals across different cadres, including five senior officers promoted from the rank of Chief Route Commander to Assistant Corps Commander.
“Out of the 261 personnel, 196 were also promoted from Road Marshal Assistant to Chief Inspector.
“The promotions are part of the corps’ efforts to recognise and reward commitment and dedication of its personnel.
“All newly promoted personnel should reciprocate the gesture by improving their service delivery and demonstrating greater commitment to road safety and protection of lives,” he said.
Lawal added that there was a lot of responsibility that comes with promotion, adding that the corps expected the promoted personnel to demonstrate high level of professionalism.
The sector commander advised the personnel to see their promotions as a call to greater responsibility and commitment to the corps’ mandate.
He also urged them not to give in to anger and to manage situations with calmness and ease of mind.
