The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Boboye Oyeyemi, has approved the redeployment of senior officers and others nationwide for enhanced performance.

The affected senior officers include deputy corps marshals, assistant corps marshals, corps commanders, deputy corps commanders and intermediate ranks.

The Corps Public Education Officer (CPEO), Assistant Corps Marshal Bisi Kazeem, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.

“This shows that Deputy Corps Marshal (DCM) HZ Fomsuk, former DCM Special Duties and External Relations (SDER), is to now take over as DCM in charge of the Department of Motor Vehicle Administration at the national headquarters, Abuja.

“DCM Victor Nwokolo, the outgoing Zonal Commanding Officer, RS8HQ Ilorin, is to move in as the Head of Policy, Research and Statistics Department also at the national headquarters,” the statement quoted Mr Oyeyemi to say.

It added, “ACM Kayode Olagunju, former Zonal Commanding Officer, (RS4HQ) Jos proceeds as Commandant FRSC Academy, Udi, Enugu. While ACM Kingsley Agomoh, the erstwhile Zonal Commanding Officer, (RS6HQ) Port Harcourt, moves to the Corps Project Implementation office.”

Others include ACM AB Datzama, who “takes over the helm of affairs in the Department of Special Duties and External Relations and ACM M. Adetunji, the Deputy Corps Secretary, becomes ACM Personnel at the national headquarters.” 

Mr Oyeyemi noted further that ACM S. Iyamah, currently heading the Corps Budget Office, and ACM RT Kumven heading the Corps Safety Engineering Office, retained their positions.

He added that ACM EN Obot, erstwhile Corps Commander in charge of Policy Advisory Unit, under the office of the Corps Marshal, moved to Command Administration and Strategies (CAS) at the Operations Department RSHQ.

The statement also revealed that ACM MR Yerima transited from CC Research to ACM Man Power Development, and ACM Osadebamwen, former ACM Manpower Development, redeployed to Adamawa as ZCO RS3HQ Yola.

“ACM OC Oladele, the outgoing Commandant FRSC Academy, Udi moves to RS8HQ Ilorin as the Zonal Commanding Officer (ZCO).

“Former Sector Commander, Bayelsa ACM CB Nkwonta is now the Zonal Commanding Officer RS6HQ Port Harcourt, as the outgoing Deputy Commandant FRSC Command and Staff College, ACM GO Omiko, moves to RS1HQ Kaduna as Zonal Commanding Officer,” added the statement.

He said out of the 37 sector commands, 27 sector commanders retained their positions while the remaining 10 states were affected.

Mr Oyeyemi admonished the redeployed officers to redouble their efforts and be steadfast.

He further urged them to play a pivotal role to ensure that they contributed their quota in enhancing the safety of lives and property of all road users.
