The House of Representatives Committee on the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has praised the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, for the aggressive enforcement of traffic laws in 2024, which resulted in increased fine collections. The Committee urged the Corps Marshal to maintain this momentum in 2025. This commendation came after the Corps Marshal presented the 2024 budget performance report and defended the 2025 budget projections before the Committee.

In response to the presentation made to the Committee by the Corps Marshal, members observed with delight the high level of performance by the FRSC in 2024 as indicated in the performance report presented by the Corps Marshal. According to them, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) exceeded its 2024 revenue generation target by 100%, raking in N5.9 billion against the projected N2.9 billion.

While members of the Committee commended the Corps Marshal for the increased tempo of activities that led to the feat in the last year’s report, they further charged him to sustain the aggression, especially in the area of enforcement of traffic lights offences which they said have become more prevalent in the FCT. To this end, they called for collaboration between the FCT Administration and the FRSC to make all the traffic lights within the capital territory to be functional and bring all violators to book. “That alone will increase the amount of fines generated from traffic violations in the new year,” they stated.

The Chairman of the Committee, Honourable Abiodun Derin Adesida specifically asked the Corps to clarify on the issue of N1.9 billion which came up at the Senate committte defence as reported in some media platforms. In response to the inquiry, the Corps Marshal explained that the N1.9 billion was the fines generated from traffic violations alone, which were duly remitted directly to the Federation Account. He further explained that the FRSC has no access to the federation account to which every kobo of the fines generated was paid.

“Outside the N1.9 billion generated from  fines, other operational surpluses paid as revenues from the FRSC for last year were from the Number plates, Driver’s License, signage, training and towing which came up to N3.2 billion, bringing the total amount of revenue generated by the Corps in 2024 to N5.9 billion.

“All of these were duly remitted to the federation account as indicated in our 2024 report,” the Corps Marshal further stated.

After expressing satisfaction with the Corps’ 2024 performance, the Committee members unanimously approved the report presented by the Corps Marshal. With that settled, they moved on to review the budget proposals for 2025.
