The Ekiti State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has commenced strategic planning aimed at surpassing its 2025 achievements in road traffic management and administration, as part of efforts to align with the Corps’ 2026 Corporate Strategic Goals.
In a statement made available to journalists by SRC Tajudeen A. Balogun, the Command on Wednesday organised a capacity-building workshop for all Commanding Officers (COs) and Unit Heads of Operations (UTHOPs) across road safety formations in the state.
The statement reads, declaring the workshop open, the Sector Commander, CC Sanya Adeoye, FCIPurS, MCILT, underscored the importance of quality leadership in achieving the FRSC mandate. He urged participants to pay close attention to the lectures and deliberations, noting that effective leadership remains critical to improved productivity and safer roads in Ekiti State.
The workshop, themed “Quality Leadership: An Effective Tool for Achieving FRSC Mandate,” featured expert presentations tailored to strengthen leadership capacity and operational efficiency within the Corps.
Delivering the first lecture titled “Quality Leadership in Road Safety Operations,” Dr. Akeem O. Bello, a senior lecturer in the Department of Political Science at Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology (BOUESTI), Ikere-Ekiti, stressed that leadership discourse would be incomplete without mentorship. He extensively discussed mentorship and communication, linking both concepts to effective road safety operations and personnel management within the FRSC.
In his presentation, the Sector Commander, CC Sanya Adeoye, who delivered the second lecture, drew clear connections between effective leadership, proactive communication and optimal productivity. He emphasized that proactive engagement and clear communication remain veritable tools for achieving the Corps’ mandate and enhancing operational outcomes.
A major highlight of the workshop was the syndication of participants into working groups to develop local initiatives that would support the attainment of the FRSC 2026 Corporate Strategic Goals.
These goals include a 10 per cent reduction in road traffic fatalities and injuries, partnership-driven funding to achieve 30 per cent support for road safety programmes, and improving the capacity and competence of at least 50 percent of FRSC personnel in road safety data management..
At the end of the group sessions, each syndicate presented home-grown initiatives tailored to local operational realities. Following the presentations, the Sector Commander issued key directives, mandating all unit commands and outposts to sustain and improve rescue operations to reduce response time, intensify intervention patrols with a focus on critical crash-inducing offences, and accord full priority to integrity-based bookings.
Other highlights of the workshop included an assessment of operational activities by the Staff Officer Operations, CRC Ogungbola, moderation of the guest lecturer’s session by the Head of Administration, DCC A.O. Adedoyin, as well as an interactive question-and-answer segment.
