The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says it will build permanent office accommodation in Sabon Gari Unit Command to enhance effective service delivery and tame road traffic accidents.
The Corps Marshal, Mr. Dauda Biu, disclosed this in Zaria on Sunday during the 40th reunion anniversary of the class of ’83 of Government Secondary School GDSS Kofar Tukur Tukur, Zaria.
He assured that the corps’ office in Sabon Gari would soon be built and equipped with adequate facilities to enhance effective performance.
“We have already acquired land in Sabon Gari; very soon we will erect the structure for Sabon Gari unit command because the corps is operating from a rented office apartment.
“All these are part of our plan to provide a conducive working environment for our staff to enhance their performance.”
The FRSC boss also reiterated his commitment to provide modern facilities at local offices to enhance performance and reduce the high rate of accidents on the nation’s roads.
He said the move was to ensure that all highways were safe and motorable for road users across the country.
Biu, who was one of the recipients honoured at the event, urged members of the school’s alumni association, GDSS Zaria, to pay back to their alma mater to complement the government’s efforts.
Earlier, Malam Ahmed Bamalli, Emir of Zazzau, acknowledged the effort of the old students in providing the college with the necessary logistics to encourage learning at the school.
Bamalli, represented by the Dan Isan Zazzau, Alhaji Umar Shehu Idris, urged Nigerians to imbibe the culture of “giving back” to their alma mater as a way of showing great appreciation to the school.
Also at the event, Prof. Kabir Bala, the Vice Chancellor, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, tasked the Alumni association with upgrading the school with modern digital facilities, to meet the present education challenges.
Bala, who was represented by the Director, Institute of Education, ABU Zaria, Prof. Bashir Maina, urged collaboration with other sets of old students to convert the school into a modern ICT-compliant college.
