FRSC To Establish Licensing Office in Iseyin As I.D.U Abuja Commissions Borehole

…..Raji Seeks More Cooperation of Iseyin Motorists With FRSC

The Federal Road Safety Corps, Oyo State Sector Command has assured the people of Iseyin local government that the establishment of a licensing office in the community will materialize soon.

The State’s Corps Commander, Joshua Adekanye said this at Iseyin during the commissioning of borehole water project at the Commission’s Iseyin unit office on Monday, appreciating the Abuja branch of Iseyin Development Union (I.D.U) who were the sponsors of the project.

Adekanye said the licensing office will come into being as soon as necessary paperworks have been concluded, especially as the community has provide other tangible logistics for the office to kickstart its operation.

The Corps Commander, who was represented by the Deputy Corps Commander (Sector Head of Operations), Olalekan Morakinyo however called on well-meaning individuals in the society to also support the FRSC Iseyin unit’s office to facilitate easy rescue operations by its men.

He also sought the support of residents in the area of Public-Private-Partnership(PPP) in procurement of tow trucks that will yield financial benefits for the partners from proceeds of the activities of the tow trucks.

“All the efforts of the community to establish the FRSC office in Iseyin till date were noted by the Abuja office. Iseyin has shown so much cooperation with our officers unlike some others that chased out our officers from their community and after some years, pleaded that we come back.

“We should remember that all that God gave us are for the benefit of others, people should do things for the sake of humanity, the water project is not just for the FRSC office as it will have spiral effects on the working condition of officers.

“The request for driving school will be looked into soon as it will hasten other sectors of development among motorists and residents.

“We therefore appeal for donation of ambulance and tow truck but if the tow truck can be done under PPP, we are ready for it. The truck owners who can be individuals or the local government will get their own share while FRSC will also get its own.”

In his speech, the Chairman of the day, Alhaji Ahmed Raji SAN, saluted the philanthropic gesture of the Abuja I.D.U and urged them to do more for the benefit of the community and its people.

Raji who was represented at the event by the former Chairman of Iseyin local government, Alhaji Saheed Alaran harped on the fact that government alone cannot deliver development to the people unless the people also support.

“Nobody will help develop our community but ourselves, the unchanging reality now is that government alone cannot do it, we all have to do it.

“Whatever you call wealth is nothing if not used for the development of others. Our community’s growth is ours, do yours and I will do mine.

“We appreciate the Abuja IDU for the initiative which is for the benefit of the people at home and we are using this occasion to call on residents to continue to be friendly and supportive to the FRSC in their acts and doings.”

The Ikolaba of Iseyin, High Chief Ismahil Tikalosoro appreciated the community development union and FRSC Iseyin unit.

He posited that since the inception of the unit office, the people of the community have had no sad tale to tell about its officers, assuring of further cooperation from indigenes and residents with FRSC personnel.

The Chairman I.D.U, Abuja branch, Chief Mrs Mojirayo Obisiji said the project was part of many other efforts to positively impact the community and called on individuals with means to support developmental initiatives in the areas of health, water, security advocacy, empowerment for widows and vulnerable group as well as scholarships for indigent but brilliant students.

She maintained that by doing so, the developmental momentum would be accelerated.

“We thought of how to impact our community no matter how little from our our sweat, we are doing this not to show our strength but to enjoin others with capacity to do more for the community and its people,” she said.
