Officers Abroad Benefit as FRSC Promotes over 10,000 Personnel in Tech-Driven Exercise
Officers Abroad Benefit as FRSC Promotes over 10,000 Personnel in Tech-Driven Exercise
In a major demonstration of its growing reliance on technology, the Federal Road Safety Corps has conducted a nationwide promotion exercise, enabling officers on academic programmes overseas to participate remotely while deploying surveillance cameras and independent observers to ensure transparency.
The promotion exercise, described by the Corps as one of the largest and most technologically advanced in its history, benefited more than 10,000 personnel.
It covered 3,597 Intermediate Rank Officers and 6,408 Junior Officers across the country, according to a statement issued by the Corps Public Education Officer, Deputy Corps Commander Osondu Ohaeri.
The exercise was conducted under the leadership of the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, and formed part of ongoing efforts to modernise personnel management and ensure merit-based career progression within the organisation.
A major highlight of the exercise was the successful inclusion of FRSC personnel pursuing academic and professional programmes outside Nigeria.
Through the deployment of advanced Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platforms, officers on study leave abroad were able to participate in the promotion process remotely without disrupting their educational activities.
The Corps said the initiative underscored its commitment to ensuring that no eligible officer was denied career advancement opportunities because of geographical location or personal development commitments.
“This development demonstrates the Corps’ resolve to remove barriers to promotion and create an inclusive system that rewards excellence regardless of where personnel are located,” the statement noted.
To guarantee fairness and credibility, the FRSC introduced real-time monitoring mechanisms, including surveillance cameras deployed across all examination centres and independent observers drawn from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Federal Character Commission.
The exercise commenced on June 14, 2026, simultaneously across the Corps’ 12 Zonal Commands, with representatives of the Corps Marshal overseeing proceedings to ensure strict compliance with established standards.
The FRSC, the technology-driven promotion system eliminated many of the traditional bottlenecks associated with promotion exercises, enhanced operational efficiency, and provided all eligible personnel with equal opportunities to compete based solely on merit, competence, and performance.
The Corps further stated that the successful conduct of the exercise reflected Corps Marshal Mohammed’s vision of building a highly motivated, professional, and future-ready workforce where hard work, innovation, commitment, and excellence are consistently recognised and rewarded.
Under his leadership, the Corps noted, significant reforms have been introduced to improve personnel welfare, strengthen institutional capacity, and leverage technology to enhance service delivery and internal administrative processes.
The FRSC said the promotion exercise has further boosted staff confidence in the organisation’s career advancement system, while encouraging greater productivity, accountability, and healthy competition among personnel.
The Corps described the successful completion of the exercise as another milestone in its drive to institutionalise global best practices and transform the agency into a modern, digitally driven organisation capable of meeting contemporary public service demands.
It maintained that the promotion process reinforced the principle that professionalism, dedication, and outstanding performance remain the primary pathways to career advancement within the Corps, while supporting its broader objective of building a motivated workforce committed to safer roads and improved service delivery for Nigerians.

Carloha Extends Award-Winning 6-6-7 Care to All New Energy Vehicles
For many Nigerians, the transition to New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) has been held by a single, nagging qbackuestion: “If something goes wrong, who will fix it?” While the Nigerian market has seen a surge in hybrid and electric models, the promise of innovation has often been overshadowed by the lack of spare parts, soaring maintenance costs, and indefinite workshop stays.
Carloha Nigeria is officially putting those fears in the rearview mirror.
In a landmark move announced at the launch of the all-new Chery Tiggo 9 PHEV, Carloha has extended its award-winning CarlohaCare 6-6-7 package to its entire lineup of New Energy Vehicles. This isn’t just a service plan; it is a total commitment to peace of mind, according to a statement from the auto company.
The statement provides some of the details of the package as follows:
The 6-6-7 Promise: Redefining Ownership

7-Day Repair Guarantee: If your vehicle isn’t ready within seven days, Carloha provides a courtesy vehicle to keep you moving.
Confidence in Every Charge
“Consumers should be able to embrace the future of mobility with confidence,” said Dexter Li, Marketing Director at Carloha Nigeria.
“By extending this package, we aren’t just selling cars; we are removing the barriers to sustainable transport. We are proving that our NEVs are built for the Nigerian road, backed by a support system that never leaves you stranded.”
By bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and dependable support, Carloha Nigeria says it is doing more than just selling vehicles—it’s setting a new standard for the Nigerian automotive landscape.

The company, the sole authorised distributor of Mitsubishi Motors in Nigeria and a joint venture between the CFAO Group and the Chanrai Group, said the limited-time offer applies to all variants of the L200, urging prospective buyers to take advantage of the promotion while stocks last.
The latest-generation L200 entered the Nigerian market backed by strong international recognition.

It also clinched the Best Mid-size Pickup title at the 2024 Arab Car of the Year Awards for its performance, durability and reliability.
Since its launch, the vehicle has gained acceptance among operators in key sectors of the economy, including construction, agriculture, mining and logistics, where ruggedness, payload capacity and dependable performance are critical.
Built on Mitsubishi’s long-standing expertise in pickup engineering, the L200 combines off-road capability and commercial-grade toughness with modern comfort, safety and technology features.
Massilia Motors said the pickup’s growing popularity reflects the increasing demand for versatile vehicles capable of handling Nigeria’s diverse operating conditions while meeting the expectations of both fleet operators and individual customers.

Speaking on the milestone, the Managing Director of Massilia Motors Nigeria, Olivier Lamoure, said the L200 had lived up to expectations since its introduction to the market.
“One year in, the L200 has proven exactly what we believed it would — that the Nigerian market has a real appetite for a pickup truck that is built to work without compromise,” Lamoure said.
He noted that the anniversary pricing offer was designed to reward existing customers and provide an opportunity for prospective buyers to acquire the vehicle at a more attractive price.
According to him, the special pricing will only be available for the remainder of the month, making it a timely opportunity for businesses and individuals considering the pickup.
Massilia Motors provides vehicle sales, genuine parts and certified aftersales support to individual and fleet customers through its operations in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and other locations across the country.
