His words : “The Federal Government will continue to support the corps to maintain its enviable height of being the first rated road safety corps in Africa as well as playing a leading role in road safety in the world.
“We, as a government will continue to support and provide logistics and funding for the corps to improve and expand in all aspects of road safety administration within the country and Africa”.
Mustapha, also lauded the Enugu State Government for providing the land for the FRSC Academy in Udi, and urged other south-east governors to emulate Enugu State on its support to federal government establishments and organisations.

 ”I appreciate the corps marshal for his dedication to move the FRSC forward and put in place legacy projects and programmes that will stand the test of time like the senior course.
“The state government is committed to its partnership and development of the FRSC, especially its academy domiciled in the state in the Udi community,” he added.
 Speaking, Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-governmental Affairs, Sen. Danjuma Lar, commended the FRSC for focusing on training and re-training of its staff for improved productivity.
