FRSC Launches All-In-One Mobile App; Urges Drivers and Passengers to Download

 TRANSFORMlNG YOUR SAFETY EXPERIENCE WITH FRSC MOBILE APP: LICENCE RENEWAL, VERIFICATION, ALERTS, AND SAFETY TOOLS— ALL IN ONE APP

In one of her major breakthroughs in making digital convenience meet public safety, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has once again made a mark in innovation and service delivery with her robust and user friendly Mobile Application called, 'FRSC Mobile App', designed to transform how Nigerians engage with road safety services.

This Mobile Application is not just a convenience tool, it is a strategic intervention to enhance national safety consciousness and reduce preventable road traffic crashes.

In a nation where the loss of lives on highways remains a grave concern, this innovation brings solutions right to the palm of every Nigerian. It is no longer acceptable to be uninformed when the tools for protection and compliance are within reach.

But the success of this initiative depends largely on the willingness of the public to embrace it. This is not just an app, it's a life saving tool, and the Corps calls on all motorists, commuters, logistics operators, fleet managers, and the general public to download and utilize this free application without delay.

FRSC Mobile Application, which is now available for download on Google Play Store , is a one-stop hub that offers real-time access to critical safety tools, FRSC services, and vital road use information. It represents yet another milestone in the Corps’ pursuit of smarter, safer roads through digital transformation.

It is more than just a technological upgrade; a strategic response to the growing need for real-time access to FRSC products and services, and timely traffic intelligence. With a few taps on a smartphone, road users across Nigeria can now enjoy end-to-end access to FRSC services, right from the comfort of their homes, vehicles, or offices.

This all-in-one mobile application has been developed with road users in mind, combining convenience, efficiency, and life-saving tools into a single platform. Through this technology, applicants can easily renew their Driver’s Licence directly through the app, eliminating unnecessary delays and reducing human contact. Through the Mobile Application you can verify the status of both drivers licence and vehicle number plates to ensure that they are truly registered.

Additionally, the App also gives Real-Time Safety Alerts by notifying users of speed limit violations, helping them stay within safe driving thresholds while promoting responsible behaviours on the road. It also helps to detect Black Spot on the highways. With its seamless access to a mapped database of crash prone areas, users can avoid dangerous routes and plan safer journeys.

Most importantly, the App also avails you the opportunity to Live National Traffic Radio Streaming. This is to help you stay informed on the go as users can without any ounce of stress, stream National Traffic Radio 107.1 FM to get real time updates on traffic conditions, safety campaigns, and emergency advisories.

Through the App, you can report obstructions, road traffic crashes as well as disserve by FRSC personnel for prompt response.

The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Shehu Mohammed under whose leadership, this technology was birthed while speaking on the benefits of the Application revealed that by bringing FRSC services closer to the people, this app strengthens accountability, reduces bureaucratic bottlenecks, and enhances real time safety awareness. It is a modern tool for a modern society that reflects FRSC’s resolve to tackle road crashes using technology and proactive engagement.

He maintained that in an era of smartphones and instant information, ignorance is no longer an excuse for unsafe road behaviour or expired documentation. With just a few taps on your device, you can be safer, smarter, and fully compliant on the road.

The Corps Marshal further called on the public to note that having the FRSC app is not a luxury, but a necessity. All motorists including passengers are admonished to download the FRSC App today because your safety is your responsibility and now, it’s just a tap away.

For more information on the App, kindly call 122 or visit http://frsc.gov.ng or follow our verified social media platforms@ http://Facebook.com/FRSCNigeria, http://X.com/FRSCNigeria, http://Instagram.com/FRSCNigeria, http://Youtube.com/FRSCNigeria.

FAKE NEWS ALERT: Disregard False Claims On WAEC and NECO Examinations

 

FAKE NEWS ALERT: DISREGARD FALSE CLAIMS ON WAEC & NECO EXAMINATIONS

The attention of the Federal Ministry of Education has been drawn to a false and misleading statement circulating online, alleging the cancellation of the 2025 WAEC Examinations due to widespread examination malpractice.

The Ministry wishes to categorically disassociate itself from this fake news and clarify the following:

The 2025 WAEC Examinations have been successfully concluded, with only a few isolated incidents of malpractice reported, all of which were promptly addressed by the relevant authorities.

The ongoing NECO Examinations are progressing smoothly, and as of this release, no cases of examination malpractice have been reported.

The Federal Ministry of Education has not received any official communication or report from WAEC, NECO, or any examination body regarding widespread malpractice in either of the examinations.

The Ministry therefore urges students, parents, school administrators, and the general public to disregard the fake press release currently in circulation. It is entirely fabricated, misleading, and intended to cause unnecessary panic and confusion.

The public is advised to seek information only from verified and credible sources, including:

The official website of the Federal Ministry of Education: www.education.gov.ng

The official WAEC portal: www.waecnigeria.org

The official NECO portal: www.neco.gov.ng

Verified communication channels of WAEC, NECO, the Ministry, and reputable media outlets.

The Ministry remains fully committed to upholding the integrity, credibility, and orderly conduct of all public examinations and will continue working closely with examination bodies to strengthen monitoring and enforcement mechanisms.

Furthermore, anyone found spreading false information will be reported to the appropriate security agencies for investigation and prosecution.

Pension: You're Free to Protest; NPF Tells Retire Officers (Press Statement)

‎‎PRESS RELEASE

PEACEFUL PROTEST BY RETIRED POLICE OFFICERS: POLICE SETS RECORDS STRAIGHT, ASSURES OF SECURITY, PRESERVATION OF DIGNITY

‎The Nigeria Police Force has noted the ongoing conversations surrounding the peaceful protest being organised by some of our retired officers in relation to their pension entitlements. While some of these accounts are grounded in fact and driven by good faith, others have been marred by misinformation, emotional manipulation, and calculated distortions designed to discredit the Government and undermine the present leadership of the Nigeria Police Force.

It is disheartening to observe how certain actors have chosen to politicise a sensitive welfare issue, weaponizing the legitimate grievances of our retired colleagues for ulterior motives. Their intent is not reform, but disruption. Their tactics involve twisting facts, inflaming sentiments, and sowing distrust in the public space. These actions do a disservice not only to our noble institution, but to the integrity of public discourse in our country. We however remain focused on the real issue which is the welfare of those who once bore the burden of national security with courage and honour.

The agitation for improved police pensions, particularly the call for exit from the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS), is not a recent development. It has spanned over a decade. Since 2014, successive Inspectors-General of Police have demonstrated empathy, engaged critical stakeholders, and provided institutional support for this cause. Yet, despite these earnest efforts, the desired outcome has remained elusive; not for lack of will, but due to entrenched legal provisions, fiscal limitations, and administrative bottlenecks. The hard truth is that exiting the Police from the CPS lies beyond the remit of any Inspector-General, as the matter is deeply woven into a web of statutory mandates, inter-agency protocols, and policy inertia.‎

‎Moreover, expert projections indicate that as the scheme matures, its benefits are expected to significantly improve. Officers retiring within the next five years are projected to receive significantly more favourable pension outcomes than those currently exiting the system. In practical terms, this means that the longer one remains in the scheme, the less likely they are to experience the same pension challenges. This evolving reality demands a pragmatic review of our approach.

In recognition of these constraints and shifting dynamics, the current Police leadership is pursuing a dual-track strategy of supporting the agitation in principle, while urgently exploring innovative, alternative solutions to address the immediate plight of our retirees. These include utilising internally generated revenues from police services to provide supplementary pension benefits; and mobilising private sector and corporate support for the establishment of targeted pension enhancement initiatives. 

These interventions are already underway and reflect a broader, more holistic strategy to elevate the welfare of our retired personnel, not merely through policy debates, but through tangible results. The Federal government has been sensitized enough and appropriate responses are being awaited

Let it be stated unequivocally that this explanation is not intended to suppress the planned protest. On the contrary, it reflects a leadership that listens, understands, and engages in good faith. The Inspector-General of Police has interacted extensively with many retired officers over the past year, and several groups have since withdrawn their support for the protest, having appreciated the direction of current efforts. However, for those who still choose to proceed, their rights will be protected. The protest is scheduled to take place on Monday, 21st July 2025, primarily within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and any other State Command where prior notification has been duly given.

Accordingly, the Inspector-General of Police has directed all Commissioners of Police to ensure the peaceful conduct of the protest within their jurisdictions, especially in the FCT and other states where formal notice has been received; provide adequate security coverage to our retired colleagues who have chosen to publicly express their grievances; prevent any hijack of the protest by miscreants, political actors, or non-retired agitators; sensitise officers and men under their command on the constitutional rights to peaceful assembly, and the obligation to show utmost respect to our retired colleagues; while deploying intelligence and operational resources to protect lives, maintain public order, and safeguard institutional integrity.

The Inspector-General of Police charges all officers to note that this protest, described as “the mother of all peaceful protests”, must not only be peaceful; it must be exemplary, and as such should stand as a national model for dignified expression of grievance and responsible public order management. We must show, by conduct and command, that the Nigeria Police Force is both professional and humane.‎ He further reiterates that this is more than a directive; it is a call to institutional responsibility, a test of our maturity, our values, and our discipline. 

Let us rise to this moment with wisdom, restraint, and unwavering respect for those who served before us. Serving officers are however warned not to be misled by those who either are ignorant of the ethics of our profession or are up for manipulations and disruption.

Admission Screening: Modalities for UNILAG Aggregate Score Calculation

MODALITIES FOR UNILAG AGGREGATE SCORE CALCULATION

Here’s how UNILAG calculates your aggregate score for admission screening:

 1. O’Level (WAEC/NECO) — 20%

UNILAG considers your best 5 relevant subjects, based on your course requirements. Each grade is scored as follows:

A1 = 4.0

B2 = 3.6

B3 = 3.2

C4 = 2.8

C5 = 2.4

C6 = 2.0

Your total O’Level score is out of 20.

2. UTME (JAMB) — 50%

Your JAMB score is converted by dividing it by 8.

Eample: If you scored 280

in JAMB → 280 ÷ 8 = 35/50

3. Post-UTME — 30%

Your Post-UTME score is taken as it is (out of 30). UNILAG usually conducts CBT screening exams for this ( I believe this is the easiest part in the admission process)

Final Aggregate = O’Level (20) + JAMB (50) + Post-UTME (30) = 100%

This final score determines your eligibility for admission into your chosen department
