The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has removed the Corps Commander in charge of Kwara State sector command over a controversial comment credited to him at a public event, sources in the commission confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES on Monday.
Fredrick Ogidan was removed barely 48 hours after he made a controversial comment perceived by his superiors to be critical of the federal government’s removal of subsidy, a cardinal economic policy of the President Bola Tinubu administration.
Mr Ogidan reportedly said in Ilorin, the state capital, days ago, that the fuel subsidy removal was affecting the operations of his command, a concern many Nigerians have expressed about the attendant high cost of living and hardships of the policy.
