Kayode Fayemi, governor of Ekiti state, says the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) is an exemplary public institution.
The governor gave the commendation during his courtesy visit to the FRSC national headquarters in Abuja, on Thursday.
In a statement, Bisi Kazeem, FRSC head of public education, said Fayemi commended Boboye Oyeyemi, the corps marshal, for bringing his wealth of experience in road safety management in the country.
He said the leadership of the corps marshall has impacted positively on the successes recorded by the agency within the last few years of his management.
The governor said the institution has impacted positively on the management of roads across the country, saying Nigerians have much to learn from the organisation.
He lauded the various innovations introduced by the corps to ensure that the Nigerian roads become safer and convenient for economic activities to thrive.
Fayemi assured the agency of sustained support of the state governments on issues of road safety in the country.
He said the inauguration of the national road safety advisory council (NaSAC) following the approval of the Nigeria road safety strategy document is novel in the campaign for safer road environment in the country, adding that the initiative affords governors opportunity to participate actively in policy formulation and execution of road safety programmes.
The governor was taken round the FRSC facilities including the information technology centre and the national traffic radio studio.
He then joined Ogunyemi and Bukhari Bello, the FRSC board chairman, to decorate Kayode Fanola, the newly appointed deputy corps marshal, who is representing the south-west geopolitical zone at the FRSC management.
