The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Zone RS2HQ, which oversees Lagos and Ogun states, has pledged to deepen its collaboration with the Nigerian Army’s 81 Division in a bid to strengthen security and road safety within Lagos State.
The Zonal Commanding Officer, Assistant Corps Marshal Ann Oladayo, gave the assurance yesterday during a courtesy visit to the General Officer Commanding, GOC, 81 Division, Major General Farouk Mijinyawa, at the Division’s headquarters in Lagos.
Oladayo, who recently assumed duty as the first female Zonal Commanding Officer of the Zone, said the visit was aimed at consolidating long-standing ties between both institutions while exploring new areas of partnership.
She stressed that enhanced cooperation in joint training, operations, and intelligence sharing would play a vital role in achieving safer roads and a more secure environment across Lagos.
“We strongly believe that through joint training, operational synergy, and mutual support, both the FRSC and the Nigerian Army can achieve greater efficiency in protecting lives and property,” Oladayo stated.
She assured that the Corps would continue to complement the Army’s efforts in areas such as driver training, proper vehicle plate registration, and the issuance of licences.
In his response, Major General Mijinyawa congratulated Oladayo on her historic appointment, describing it as a landmark achievement for the FRSC and a testament to women breaking barriers in leadership. He also reaffirmed the Army’s commitment to sustaining and strengthening its partnership with the Corps for the benefit of Lagos residents.
