The Federal Road Safety Commission has said it will stop at nothing to rid the organisation of corrupt personnel.



The Benin Zonal Commander of the comission. Mr. Yakubu Attah, said this when he met with officers and marshals of the corps in Awka, the Anambra State capital.

Attah said the corps was troubled by reported corrupt practices of some personnel in Anambra and that any officer found guilty would be dismissed.

He said it had come to the notice of the management that some officers and marshals engaged the services of herbalists to prevent the surveillance team from seeing them while monitoring.

He said the antics would not work. "Everybody is under surveillance. Some of you go to herbalists when the surveillance team is coming so that they won’t see you. A word is enough for the wise. I will not say anything again until you begin to see your sack letter."

Attah said the staff of the FRSC had no reason to compromise themselves while on duty because they were paid well.

According to him, the least paid staff of the corps earned N36, 000 a month, which was double the new national minimum wage.

On a positive note, he said the corps marshal of the organisation, Mr. Osita Chidoka, had said there would no longer be backlogs of promotions as all those that deserve promotion would be duly promoted.

He also said the grading of the holders of the Higher National Diploma in the organisation was also being adjusted to bring them to their right levels.

He appealed to organisations to assist the FRSC with tow trucks along the Asaba – Onitsha – Enugu Expressway to evacuate vehicles involved in accidents.
