Except there is any extension, the Corps Marshall of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dauda Biu is expected to embark on retirement leave soon.
In a memo by the corps secretary, Assistant Corps Marshal Susan A. Ajonge, Biu ought to have commenced his retirement leave on July 11 this year.
The retirement notice addressed to the corps marshall reads that “your retirement from the service takes effect from October 11, 2023 after 35 years of service.”
He was therefore advised in the memo that “your terminal leave would commence from July 11, 2023.”
The memo, which was titled: “Pre-notice of retirement from service of FRSC” on February 22, 2023, advised the corps marshall to liaise with the Corps Pension Office, Administration and Human Resources Department RSHQ immediately for appropriate documentation.
Biu was one of the pioneer staff of the corps at FRSC inception and is said to be lobbying for an extension of service.
He was second-in-command to the former corps marshal, Mr Boboyo Oyeyemi, who handed over to him last year.
Biu was in charge of the administration and finance department of the corps for eight years before his confirmation as the substantive corps marshal last year.
It was gathered that more than six senior officers are jostling to take over any moment he commences his retirement leave.
Efforts to get the reaction of the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) on the matter did not yield results.
