Gov. Lalong vows to complete FRSC training school soon in Shendam. 

The agony felt by most Plateau citizens of the relocation of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) Training School from Jos to Enugu in 2014, is about to be soothed as the Plateau State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong gave the assurance of completing the ongoing construction of the new institution in Shendam before the year runs out. 

Lalong gave the assurance at the FRSC headquarters in Abuja when he went on a visit to witness the decoration of Hygenus Fuomsuk to his new rank of Deputy Corps Marshal (DCM). 

Lalong who participated in the decoration as contained in a statement signed by his Director of Press and Public Affairs (DOPA), Dr. Macham Makut, and sent to THE BEACON, gave the assurance that his administration will continue to develop the transport infrastructure. According to him the completion of the FRSC Training School in Shendam is imperative as it will provide conducive environment for manpower development.

Giving his remarks on the decoration of Foumsuk to his new rank, the elated Lalong asserted his pleasure in witnessing the decoration and described the beneficiary as a committed officer that served diligently over the years. He said, "An elevation like this is an opportunity to serve Nigeria and be patriotic. Although your appointment is to represent the North Central Zone in the FRSC, you should look beyond that zone to serve with dignity and treat everyone with respect irrespective of where they come from. Nigeria is your first constituency."

He called on the Federal Road Safety Corps to continue to work hard in assisting the fight against COVID-19 by enforcing transportation guidelines. 

Earlier, the Corps Marshal Boboye Oyeyemi said the promotion of DCM Fuomsuk and others were well deserved and merited because of their track record of loyalty and dedication to duty.

He appreciated Governor Lalong for the support he continuously give to the FRSC, particularly his recent intervention towards the completion of the FRSC Training School in Shendam, which he said will be completed before the end of the year.

Also decorated at the brief event was DCM Samule Obayomi from Kogi State who is proceeding on retirement leave.
