Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday, asked the federal government to continue to enhance the professional capacity of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) rather than fall into the temptations of merging the corps with any other agency.

The former president made the appeal when he hosted a delegation of the Corps who paid him a courtesy visit at his Penthouse residence located within the precinct of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

Led by the Deputy Corp Marshall, Susan Akenge, the delegation had stormed Obasanjo’s residence in Abeokuta for the purpose of appreciating him for his continuous support for the Corp.

Speaking during the visit, Akenge said the delegation had called on the former president, “with a message of appreciation from the Corps headquarters for the tremendous support the former president gave for the survival of the corps.

“On behalf of the Headquarters of the FRSC, the Zonal Headquarters and the Special Marshall, I have come to appreciate you and thank you sir. It is our prayer that God grant you a longer life to reap the fruit of your labour”.

But reacting to Akenge’s message, Obasanjo said he was of the strong conviction that the corps had since its establishment in the year 1988 by the military administration of former President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (ret), not disappointed the purpose for its creation and as such, “I must therefore say that you have been beneficial to us all”.

Obasanjo however, disclosed that he had the temptations of merging the corps with other agencies when he ruled as the civilian president between 1999 and 2007.

“When I was in government, I resisted that temptation to merge you with other agencies and I don’t know if others will still come and merge you with others. But I hope they will not because your responsibility is getting larger and larger by the day. Rather than merge you, they should ensure to continue to enhance your professional capacity in order to bring the best out of what you are doing now,” he said.
