You said you generated N5.2 billion so why did you remit only N1.9 billion —Senator Ireti Kingibe Tackles FRSC Boss

Senator Ireti Kingibe’s has raised a concern about the financial accountability and operational practices of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).

During the 2025 budget defense, she questioned why the FRSC, having reportedly generated ₦5.2 billion, only remitted ₦1.9 billion to the government’s purse.

Her comment also underscores allegations of irregularities within the FRSC’s operations. She cited a claim from road safety officers who allegedly face internal pressure to meet monetary expectations during patrols. She referenced an incident where an officer arrested a motorist over “expired” tires, suggesting a possible focus on revenue generation rather than genuine road safety concerns.
