“I enjoin other Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to emulate this type of noteworthy gesture.
“I also assure you that the Federal Road Safety Commission will continue to enjoy the support of the Federal Government as long as it continues to focus on its mandate,” Anyim said.

“I commend the federal government for the vision shown in establishing the FRSC as a leading agency for road safety management and administration.
“The corps is also grateful to its pioneer leadership, former Chief Executives as well as retired chief executives and personnel who died while saving lives on the road,” he said.
The corps marshal also commended the various patrol teams, commands, zones and departments of the commission and gave awards to some of them, for their outstanding performance.
Other dignitaries who graced the occasion included: representatives of the Ministers of Finance, Works as well as a former corps marshal of the commission, Maj.-Gen. Anthony Hananiya.
