Also at the event, the Corps Marshal of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed, described the intervention as timely and strategic, noting that it reflects the unusual support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, to the Corps.

He further explained that the new fleet of Electric Motor Bikes will further strengthen the Corps’ capacity to support ongoing security operations and reinforce inter-agency collaboration in safeguarding lives and property.

The Corps Marshal added that the deployment of the Electric Motor Bikes also aligns with global best practices in sustainable and technology-driven mobility, as the Corps continues to adopt innovative solutions that enhance operational efficiency while supporting environmental sustainability.
