Ann Oladayo-Odeleye, the acting zonal commanding officer of Zone B, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has pledged inclusivity, discipline and innovation in the zone.

Ms Oladayo-Odeleye, the first female zonal commanding officer of the zone covering Lagos and Ogun State, made the pledge in an interview with journalists after her first parade with the FRSC officers on Monday in Lagos.

She said there was no gender in a uniform job.

“Everyone is the same; my focus is for everybody to come on board and work together to achieve our aim as stipulated by the corps marshal.

“We have already started deploying modern technology. It is not a new thing, but we are hoping to deploy more. Our men on the road wear body cameras; that is technology; we capture events in real-time as they occur.

“Deployment of technology is part of our strategy programme for 2025, as stated by the corps marshal,” she said.

She added that she intends to build on existing infrastructure and what had been in existence.

The zonal commanding officer urged FRSC officers to be disciplined.

“I will not change anything but build and improve on it, most especially in the areas of reducing traffic crashes on our roads, deploying more men, deploying technology and responding rapidly to crashes.

“On our response time to crashes, we have to work on that, have good teamwork with our men, stakeholders, and synergise with them to achieve the aim.

“ It is a teamwork, going to be inclusive and will not be gender biased; everybody will be carried along, both sister agencies, both the Lagos and Ogun governments, because the zone comprises both states,” she said.

She also urged motorists to be compliant and obey rules and regulations because it would no longer be business as usual.
