Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Kaduna State Sector Command, on Monday, decorated 86 newly-promoted officers with their new ranks.
FRSC Sector Commander in the state, Zubairu Mato, while decorating the officers, urged them to be more focused, and dedicated and show more passion for their job.
Mato described the command as one of the luckiest, as more than 86 officers were promoted to various ranks.
He noted that the officers were promoted on Jan. 6 through a transparent and objective process.
The sector commander said that the promotion of the officers was part of the corps’ drive toward excellence, hard work, and diligence, in line with the administrative philosophy of the present FRSC leadership.
He advised those who were not lucky to be promoted to exercise patience, continue to work hard, and read regularly.
“Promotion in FRSC is very rigorous. You have to go for physical fitness exercise, a computer basic test, a regional examination, and an interview.
“Your annual evaluation will also be scrutinized. All these processes are very tasking and demanding,” he said.
