Mohammed also extended words of encouragement to officers not promoted in this cycle, urging them “to remain steadfast, loyal, and committed,” assuring that their efforts would be recognised in future exercises.
He reiterated the Corps’ commitment to staff welfare and called on all FRSC personnel to “remain focused and contribute actively towards the actualisation of the Corps’ strategic goals and safety mandate.”
