The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has decorated at least 10 newly promoted personnel serving at its command in Enugu State.
Those decorated with their new ranks after they were promoted included three top officers, three middle-level officers and four marshals.
Speaking during the decoration ceremony in Enugu on Tuesday, the sector commander of FRSC state command, Adeyemi Sokunbi, appreciated the corps marshal and the management for considering personnel for promotion and decoration.
Mr Sokunbi noted that the promotion and decoration were a privilege, saying not everyone who sat the promotion exams made it.
“I will urge you to redouble your efforts as your promotion and decoration to new ranks comes with additional work and additional responsibilities.
“I pray God to give you the grace to meet your new responsibilities even as l will counsel you to continue to put in hard work, diligence and commitment in your service to the corps and humanity,” he said.
The sector commander advised those who missed the promotion not to despair as their turn to be promoted would soon come.
Admonishing the new personnel, Corps Commander Umar Matazu, acting zonal commander of FRSC, congratulated the newly decorated personnel on their new ranks.
Mr Matazu noted that as new leaders in their positions of responsibilities, “You are called to solve challenges and leave anywhere you are posted to work better than you met it.”
Responding, deputy corps commander Nkechi Emeruwa, who spoke on behalf of others decorated, assured that they would live up to their new responsibilities and “we will not disappoint”.
