August 29, 2025 by Ntakobong Otongaran

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has secured full international scholarships for nine of its officers to pursue Master’s degree programmes at Rashtriya Raksha University in Gujarat State, India.

The university, a premier national security and police institution under India’s Ministry of Home Affairs, will host the Nigerian officers for two years in specialised fields such as Police Administration, Cyber Security, and Disaster Management.

According to the FRSC, the scholarships will cover tuition, accommodation, and feeding.

Assistant Corps Marshal and Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, who announced the development on Thursday in Abuja, described it as “an unprecedented milestone in the history of Nigeria’s paramilitary landscape,” attributing the achievement to the leadership of Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed.

“This is more than a scholarship. It is a generational legacy of knowledge transfer, innovation, and global relevance for the FRSC,” Ogungbemide said.

The Corps noted that this is the first time such an opportunity has been secured for its officers, adding that in March, some personnel had also benefited from the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) programme, a capacity-building initiative of the Indian Government.

“This feat has positioned our personnel to compete and contribute on a global stage. It is a testament to the Corps Marshal’s passion for staff welfare, digitisation, and capacity development,” the statement noted.

Stakeholders in the road safety sector have hailed the initiative, saying it would deepen international collaboration and raise Nigeria’s human capital base in road safety management, security intelligence, and digital transformation.

The officers are expected to resume in India later this year.
