107 newly promoted officers at the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Delta Sector Command, received decorations on Monday.
At a ceremony held at the Asaba headquarters of the sector command, three deputy corps commanders were among the officers decorated.
The officers were honored by the Sector Commander, Mr. Udeme Eshiet, who pushed them to live up to expectations.
To whom much is given, much more is required, he claims.
“Your responsibilities have changed, and you must live up to the task before you and do the corps proud by increasing productivity and dedication to duty.
“I am really grateful to the corp marshal and the Federal Road Safety Commission Board,” he said.
The sector commander said that the promotion enhanced staff morale.
“It is a call to be exceptionally disciplined.
“It will now be whether you are worthy of performing a task effectively and efficiently before you are given a sensitive appointment,” he added.
Responding on behalf of the decorated officers, Mr. Jonathan Ogboh expressed gratitude to God for the promotion.
He also thanked the management of FRSC for finding them worthy of promotion.
“We have every reason to be happy and we have accepted the responsibilities that come with the new rank,” he said.
