The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Thursday unveiled its maiden edition of Safe Wheel Nigeria Magazine, a publication conceived as a strategic instrument to broaden the Corps sensitisation and public enlightenment campaigns.
Speaking during the unveiling in Abuja, the Corps Marshal of FRSC, Shehu Mohammed, noted that mobility is a major factor for economic sustenance in any nation, therefore, the safety of every journey must reflect collective aspiration for national development.
He stated that Safe Wheel Nigeria Magazine stands at the centre of that renewed hope, bringing knowledge, innovation, and responsible road culture directly to the people.
According to him, Since the beginning of this administration, our commitment has been to modernise road safety management, strengthen operational efficiency and to restore public trust in the Corps.
Mohammed added: “Today, I am proud to note the significant progress we have recorded. We have deepened reforms in the National Driver’s Licence process by introducing contactless biometric capture.
“This process is a major breakthrough that aligns Nigeria with global best practices while enhancing transparency and convenience for applicants of drivers licence nationwide.
“We have also expanded our digital ecosystem for vehicle registration, including the development of special number plates for CNG and electric vehicles in support of the nation’s transition agenda for clean energy.”
Mohammed maintained that, operationally, the Corps has enhanced its intelligence-driven patrol architecture, strengthened logistics deployment, and intensified staff training to meet contemporary road safety challenges.
To this end, he explained that, “As part of our end of year enforcement and nationwide safety strategy, I have directed the commencement of the 2025 Operation Zero Exercise with effect from 15 December 2025.
“This exercise is designed to enhance visibility, expand patrol coverage, prompt rescue response, and strict enforcement of traffic regulations during the festive season. The objective of the exercise is to translate our operational intensity into safer road transportation for all Nigerians at this peak period,” he said.
Earlier, the Public Education Officer, Assistant Corps Marshal, Olusegun Ogungbemide, stressed that Safe Wheel Nigeria Magazine is driven by a compelling mandate: to educate, inspire, and empower Nigerians toward responsible driving and safer road use.
Adding that through incisive features, expert analyses, investigative reports, and human-centred stories, the magazine will illuminate the FRSC’s initiatives, highlight innovation, document community impact, and provide practical guidance for road users across the nation.
