The new commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Ogun Sector Command, Oludare Ogunjobi has warned all personnel against any form of extortion, stressing that anyone found in such acts will face appropriate disciplinary action.
Ogunjobi gave the warning on Friday when he assumed office at the command’s headquarters in Abeokuta.
DAILY POST reports that Corps Commander Ogunjobi, on his arrival to the Sector Command, was received by the outgoing Sector Commander, Corps Commander Akinwunmi Fasakin, along with senior officers and the State Coordinator of Special Marshals, Engr. Taiwo.
He also reviewed an inaugural parade mounted in his honour at the newly commissioned quarter guard.
Addressing the personnel, he outlined a leadership vision focused on welfare and strict professional ethics, calling for collaboration, mutual respect, and shared responsibility.
Ogunjobi said, “As we begin this journey together, I want to emphasize that the success of this Command will depend largely on our unity and ability to function as a cohesive team. No single individual can achieve the mandate of the Corps alone.
“We must therefore build a culture of collaboration, mutual respect, and shared responsibility. Every Officer and Marshal, regardless of rank or appointment, is an important part of this system, and your contributions matter.
“Let me clearly state that this Command will operate on a zero-tolerance policy for indiscipline. While discipline is critical, I am equally committed to promoting staff welfare.
“A motivated workforce is a productive workforce. I will do my best, within available resources, to ensure that the welfare of Officers and Men is given due attention. Your wellbeing matters, and it directly impacts your performance and morale.
“I must also strongly warn against all forms of extortion. This practice is unacceptable and completely against the core values of the Federal Road Safety Corps. Any personnel found engaging in such acts will face appropriate disciplinary action. Integrity must define who we are and how we operate.
“Furthermore, incivility to the motoring public will not be condoned. We are not only law enforcement officers, we are also public servants.
“Every interaction with road users must reflect courtesy, patience, and professionalism. The image we project determines the level of public trust we enjoy,” he added.
DAILY POST reports that the outgoing Commander, CC Akinwunmi Fasakin, will proceed to his new appointment at the FRSC Training School in Jos.
