SGF appoints Two Deputy Corps Marshals for South-East, North-East zones

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, has approved the appointment of two Assistant Corps Marshals (ACMs) as Deputy Corps Marshals (DCMs) for the South-East and North-East geopolitical zones of the country.

The appointments form part of a strategic effort to strengthen leadership capacity, enhance operational effectiveness and consolidate road safety management nationwide.

The newly appointed officers are DCM Hyginus Omeje, who currently heads the Operations Department, and DCM Mark Sabiya, the head of the Department of Finance and Accounts, both at the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) National Headquarters.

According to the SGF, the appointments were guided by the need to deploy experienced, disciplined and performance-driven officers to strategic command positions in order to improve national road safety administration and service delivery to Nigerians.

Reacting to the development, the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps described the appointments as timely and well-considered, noting that they reinforce the Corps’ leadership structure at a critical period in Nigeria’s road safety journey.

He said both officers had distinguished themselves through decades of exemplary service, operational excellence and unwavering commitment to the ideals of the Corps.

The Corps Marshal added that their elevation would significantly boost command efficiency, stakeholder engagement and the implementation of targeted road safety interventions across the country.

He further urged the new Deputy Corps Marshals to bring their wealth of experience to bear in addressing traffic management and road safety challenges nationwide.
