His death is a painful loss not only to his immediate family and loved ones but also to the Federal Road Safety Corps, the road safety community and our dear nation, Nigeria.

“His years of service reflected a deep understanding of the Corps’ mandate and a steadfast commitment to advancing road safety administration, operational effectiveness and institutional development.
“As a former head of this great Corps, he occupied a place of honour in our institutional history. His contributions to the growth and development of the FRSC remain part of the collective legacy upon which we continue to build.
“His passing is therefore not merely the loss of a former leader; it is the loss of a colleague, a seasoned professional and a compatriot who devoted a significant part of his life to the service of humanity and the safety of Nigerians.
“On behalf of the Management and the entire workforce of the Federal Road Safety Corps, I extend my deepest condolences to his immediate family, friends, associates and all those whose lives he touched.
