Assistant Corps Marshal Matthew Olonisaye, Zonal Commanding Officer of RS2, has commended the Ogun Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) for its proactive strategies that have contributed to a reduction in road accidents across the state.
The development was disclosed by the FRSC spokesperson, Mr. Odunsi Afolabi, in a statement issued in Abeokuta.
According to him, Olonisaye gave the commendation during an official visit to the Ogun Sector Command, where he assessed operational readiness and reviewed overall performance.
During the visit, the Ogun Sector Commander, Corps Commander Akinwunmi Fasakin, presented a report showing notable progress in road safety, including a significant decline in fatalities, injuries, and the number of people involved in accidents.
The report attributed these improvements to increased patrol visibility and intensified efforts in identifying and penalising traffic violators.
Afolabi noted that Olonisaye emphasised the importance of maintaining professionalism, teamwork, adherence to operational guidelines, and engaging motorists with a balance of firmness and courtesy to sustain the gains recorded.
He also inspected key infrastructure projects executed by the command, including the construction of a standard quarter guard facility and the asphalting of the command headquarters’ premises.
Fasakin, in his remarks, highlighted the need for continuous training and capacity building for personnel to effectively address emerging road safety challenges.
The visit reaffirmed the corps’ commitment to strengthening operations and sustaining progress in reducing road traffic incidents in Ogun State.
