The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has sacked 25 of its personnel for misconduct.
The Corps Marshall of FRSC, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, disclosed this on Thursday during the 2017 Press Week of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Oyo State Council.
The FRSC chief who delivered a lecture titled: “Road Safety in Nigeria: Challenges and Prospects,” at the event, solicited the cooperation of the public in achieving the organization’s goal, stating that his management team would not tolerate any form of indiscipline from officers of the Corps.
“Just yesterday (Wednesday), I sacked 25 people over corruption-related offences. I will still sack more. No corrupt officer has any business being in the Corps as the Federal Government has done everything within its power to make us comfortable.
“I will plead for the cooperation of members of the public to give information on corrupt officers and be ready to establish their allegations when they are called upon to testify against the erring officials.”
While speaking on efforts of FRSC to reduce road accidents in the country, Oyeyemi said he has instructed his men to impound all bad vehicles during the yuletide season.
