The newly posted Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), RS5.2 Delta State Command, Corps Commander Joyce Nnennaya Alexander, has assured residents of Delta State of renewed energy, innovative strategies, and stronger partnerships to improve road safety across the state.
She gave the assurance on Monday September 29, 2025, during a press briefing at the headquarters along Ibusa road, Asaba.
Alexander, who assumed duty last week following a reshuffling exercise by the FRSC Corps Marshal and management, previously served as the Sector Commander in Anambra State.
She said the rotation was part of the Corps’ tradition of “continuous improvement” aimed at infusing fresh ideas.
“FRSC is known for continuous improvement. The reshuffling is not because people were not doing well, but to bring in new energy and new ideas.
“My coming to Delta is to see how we can build on the successes already recorded and add more value,” she explained.
Focus on Peculiar Challenges in Delta
The new commander noted that every state has its peculiar road safety challenges, which she intends to study closely in consultation with her principal officers before meeting relevant state stakeholders.
“Our key process owners and collaborators in Delta will include the Ministries of Transport, Works, Education, Health, and Justice. I will be engaging them to address the peculiar challenges of road safety in Delta.
“I am confident of the state government’s support, because road safety is everybody’s responsibility,” Alexander said.
Call for Public Support and Press Collaboration
Highlighting the importance of collective responsibility, Alexander appealed to residents, motorists, and commuters to partner with the FRSC through vigilance, feedback, and timely reporting of incidents.
“FRSC cannot be everywhere at the same time. We need people to be our eyes and ears. We welcome constructive criticism and suggestions from the public and especially from the press.
“My doors are open and my phone number is not hidden. If you see something, say something,” she said.
She further emphasized the use of the FRSC emergency toll-free line: “Our toll-free line is 122. It works 24 hours a day, even if you have no credit on your phone.
“Just tell us the location and the command covering that area will respond immediately. Road safety is the responsibility of everyone, because all of us use the roads,” Alexander stressed.
Commitment to Safer Roads
Reiterating her vision, Alexander pledged to work closely with the media to drive her message of road safety across Delta communities.
“I work better with the press, because they help me carry my message without me scratching my voice. In Delta, I intend to leverage this partnership more strongly,” she affirmed.
Corps Commander Alexander’s arrival signals a renewed push for safer roads, enhanced collaboration, and stronger stakeholder engagement in Delta State’s road safety management.
