Boboye Oyeyemi replaces Chidoka as FRSC Corps Marshal

The Federal Government on Wednesday announced the appointment of Boboye Oyeyemi new Corps Marshal of Federal Road Safety Cops.

Oyeyemi replaces Osita Chidoka who was sworn in on Wednesday as the minister of aviation.

The new corps marshal, who was hitherto deputy corps marshal, was the highest ranking officer at FRSC before he was elevated to step into the shoes of his former boss.

President Goodluck also named a former lecturer at the University of Abuja, Dr. Suleman Abubakar, as the Minister of National Planning and Deputy Chairman of the National Planning Commission.

Jonathan made the announcement after the swearing in of the two new ministers shortly before the commencement of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting.

He urged the new government officials to ensure that they leave their footprints in the offices they were deployed in.

On Oyeyemi, Jonathan said he decided to appoint him from the commission in order to ensure stability.

This, he added, was a clear departure from what had been obtainable in the FRSC since its inception when its heads were appointed from outside the system.
