In a decisive move to strengthen road safety enforcement, intelligence gathering, and crime prevention nationwide, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), His Excellency, Senator George Akume on Tuesday, 23 December 2025, rolled out a new fleet of operational motorcycles, describing the initiative as a “game-changer” in proactive traffic management and security response.
Olusegun Ogungbemide, Assistant Corps Marshal, Corps Public Education Officer, made this known in a statement to newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday.
He described the Electric Motor Bikes commissioned at the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) at the Corps Headquarters as part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s continued commitment to strengthening road safety management and national security operations.
Speaking at the event, the Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Shehu Mohammed, mni, described the intervention as timely and strategic, noting that it reflects the unusual support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, to the Corps. He stated that the provision of the Electric Motor Bikes amplifies the evolving role of the FRSC within Nigeria’s national security architecture, beyond traffic management to intelligence support and emergency response.
The Corps Marshal explained that the bikes will be immediately deployed along critical corridors nationwide to enhance traffic control, enforcement, strategic intervention patrols, escort duties and special assignments, particularly in areas where conventional patrol vehicles face operational challenges. According to him, the increased mobility, speed and visibility offered by the bikes will significantly improve traffic flow, rapid response to road traffic crashes, highway decongestion and orderliness, especially during the festive and peak travel periods.
He further noted that as criminal activities increasingly occur along road corridors, FRSC operatives have continued to provide early warning intelligence, emergency support, crime detection and timely communication to sister security agencies. The Electric Motor Bikes, he said, will further strengthen the Corps’ capacity to support ongoing security operations and reinforce inter-agency collaboration in safeguarding lives and property.

The Corps Marshal added that the deployment of the Electric Motor Bikes also aligns with global best practices in sustainable and technology-driven mobility, as the Corps continues to adopt innovative solutions that enhance operational efficiency while supporting environmental sustainability. He emphasised that the initiative represents a forward-looking approach to modern law enforcement and traffic management in a rapidly evolving operational environment.
