FRSC Debunks Claim of 50 Recruitment Slots for Gombe Lawmaker’s Constituents
…Says No Appointment Letter Has Been Issued in 2026 Recruitment Exercise
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has debunked a viral social media publication alleging that Hon. Ali Isah, member representing Balanga/Billiri Federal Constituency of Gombe State in the House of Representatives, secured 50 recruitment slots for his constituents.
The Corps described the publication as misleading and capable of creating a false impression about the integrity of its ongoing 2026 recruitment exercise.
In a statement signed by the Corps Public Education Officer, Osondu Ohaeri, FniPR, FCAI, on behalf of the FRSC National Headquarters, Abuja, the Corps stressed that no appointment letter has been issued to any candidate in connection with the 2026 recruitment exercise.
The FRSC explained that candidates who successfully passed various stages of the screening and interview processes had only been invited to designated training schools and the FRSC Academy for subsequent stages of the recruitment process.
According to the Corps, such invitations do not amount to appointments, as candidates are still required to undergo and successfully complete prescribed training, screening, regimentation and other mandatory processes before they can be considered for appointment.
“Only candidates who satisfactorily complete all the required stages and emerge without any disqualifying record will be considered for appointment in accordance with established procedures,” the statement said.
The Corps further declared that no political office holder, individual, group or external interest has the authority to confer appointments into the FRSC outside the established recruitment framework.
It said the recruitment exercise under the leadership of the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, mni, remains anchored on merit, transparency, due process and institutional integrity.
The FRSC therefore urged applicants and members of the public to disregard claims suggesting that recruitment slots had been allocated to particular individuals, constituencies or political interests.
The Corps warned that such claims could expose unsuspecting applicants to fraudulent activities, particularly by individuals seeking to exploit the false impression that recruitment into the Corps can be secured through political connections or financial inducements.
It advised members of the public to rely exclusively on official FRSC communication channels for information concerning the recruitment exercise and to exercise caution over messages, offers or publications suggesting that appointments could be obtained through political influence, payment or personal connections.
The FRSC reiterated that the 2026 recruitment exercise remains subject to the full statutory and administrative processes prescribed by the Corps.
It stressed that no candidate should regard himself or herself as an FRSC appointee until the entire recruitment process has been concluded and a formal appointment has been duly communicated by the appropriate authority.
The statement was signed by Osondu Ohaeri, FniPR, FCAI, Corps Public Education Officer, Federal Road Safety Corps, National Headquarters, Abuja.
