FRSC COMMENCES STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP TRAINING FOR 305 SENIOR OFFICERS NATIONWIDE

The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed, has launched a high-level national capacity building programme for 305 Chief Route Commanders (CRCs) and Assistant Corps Commanders (ACCs) as part of ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening operational leadership, professionalism and service delivery within the Corps.

The week long strategic training programme, which commenced today at the ICT Training Hall, Federal Road Safety Headquarters, Abuja, brings together participants drawn from formations across the country, including Federal Road Safety Headquarters, Zone RS7 Abuja, RS7.1 FCT, RS7.2 Niger and their component Unit Commands, a statement signed by Osondu Ohaeri the  Deputy Corps Commander Corps Public Education Officer, FRSC, said.

Representing the Corps Marshal at the opening ceremony was the Deputy Corps Marshal Training, Abiodun Akinlade, who delivered the keynote address on behalf of the Corps Marshal.

In the address, the Corps Marshal described the programme as a critical component of the Corps’ broader institutional transformation agenda, noting that the modern road safety environment demands adaptive leadership, emotional intelligence, sound operational judgment and enhanced public engagement skills.

According to him, the Corps can no longer rely solely on conventional enforcement methods in addressing emerging road safety challenges, stressing that officers occupying strategic leadership positions must evolve with the realities of contemporary traffic management and public expectations.

He stated that the training was carefully designed to sharpen leadership capacity, improve operational coordination, strengthen mentorship culture and reinforce ethical standards among senior officers who serve as the vital bridge between policy implementation and field operations.

The Corps Marshal further emphasised that the initiative forms part of a sustained capacity development framework targeted at institutionalising continuous learning and professional excellence across all cadres of the Corps.

He commended the Training Department for conceptualising the initiative and appreciated Ai-Protech Solutions for its collaboration and support towards the successful delivery of the programme.

At the end of the training, the Corps expects to produce a new generation of operational leaders equipped with the skills, mindset and strategic orientation required to drive safer roads, improved command efficiency and enhanced service delivery nationwide.

18 Terrorists Neutralised as OPHK Hits High-Profile Meeting Point in Borno By ZAKAA LAZARUS The Air Component of Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) has destroyed a terrorist enclave and neutralised over 18 fighters in Tumbunma Baba, Tumbuns area of Borno State. This was disclosed in a statement signed by Captain Mohammed Goni, Acting Military Information Officer, Headquarters Joint Task Force (North East) OPHK, on 11 September, 2026. According to the statement, the operation involved a force package of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and attack platforms working in close coordination with ground troops of Sector 1 OPHK. The operation was based on credible intelligence gathered over the past weeks indicating the presence of high-profile terrorist elements using the islands as convergence points for meetings and logistics. The intelligence was validated through surveillance by Theatre Command and confirmatory ISR from Wednesday, 9 September 2026, which identified several terrorist structures and logistics hubs in the location. The kinetic operation was executed in the early hours of Friday, 11 September 2026. Following positive identification, air platforms engaged the designated targets with precision munitions while ground troops occupied likely escape routes for direct fire engagements. The statement said the air strikes successfully destroyed targeted structures and neutralised over 18 terrorist elements. A post-strike assessment indicated an estimated 85 per cent success in achieving the intended operational objectives. The Army noted that the operation dealt “a significant blow to terrorist activities in the area, disrupting their logistics and degrading their ability to use the enclave as a gathering and support base.” It added that the outcome underscores the effectiveness of intelligence-led operations, timely ISR confirmation, and coordinated air-ground synergy. OPHK assured that it will continue to conduct intelligence-driven operations “to deny terrorist elements the freedom to operate, regroup or establish logistics and support infrastructure across the Theatre,” working in concert with all security agencies and stakeholders. Members of the public were also encouraged to remain vigilant and provide credible and timely information to security forces to support ongoing efforts to disrupt terrorist activities across the North East Theatre.
