Beyond FRSC state commands, 61 other Corps Commanders were redeployed to key departments at the FRSC headquarters, zonal commands, the Academy, and special units.
Their new assignments cut across critical areas such as operations, logistics, training, research, administration, data management, and medical services.
Corps Marshal Mohammed said the exercise was aimed at injecting fresh energy into FRSC operations, stressing that the appointed officers must justify the confidence reposed in them.
