The Nigerian Senate has recently reaffirmed the necessity for continued training and capacity building for the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) during a review of the agency’s 2025 budget and its proposal for 2026. This emphasis on professional development is aimed at improving road safety administration across Nigeria. The committee chairman, Allwell Onyesoh, highlighted that modernizing training frameworks within the Corps is essential to meet the evolving demands of road safety and to adapt to emerging technologies and international best practices.

During the discussions, Onyesoh pointed out that the need for structured and continuous retraining for FRSC personnel is critical for enhancing discipline and operational efficiency, thereby improving service delivery across the nation. The emphasis on enhanced safety programs and training reflects a proactive approach to addressing Nigeria's road safety challenges, which are significant given the country's high rate of road traffic incidents.

The Senate's call for modernization and increased funding parallels ongoing discussions about the need for better infrastructure and safety measures on Nigerian roads. As the FRSC prepares its budgets, the focus on ensuring that personnel are well-trained and equipped is expected to play a crucial role in reducing traffic accidents and promoting safer road environments for all users, thus having broader implications for national safety and public health.
