Now that I'm beginning to see young men like Chidoka coming out to contest for elective position, I can begin to look at my own children and tell them that they are truly the leaders of tomorrow and it won't be a mere figure of speech as I was told years back by my teachers...

I strongly think that Osita is one material the Ibos should hold dear. I have read and seen what he had achieved in the Federal Road Safety Corps. It is time we put sentiment aside and allow the best hand to mold the clay. Let me share with you some of his verifiable achievements.
• Did you know that before Osita became the Corps Marshal in 2007, there were only 170 patrol vehicles nationwide? But between June 2007 and December 2013, he injected 772 vehicles and 6 heavy duty tow trucks to the existing 170 patrol vehicles. This is 78% increase. He added 69 Unit Commands and 4 outposts to the existing 121 unit Commands.

• Preceding 2007, records were still manually kept while connectivity among Commands was almost non-existent. There was only one V-SAT installed in the Corps Headquarters in Abuja for Data Management and internet connectivity. But his administration deployed 400 V-SATs to improve linkage with various Commands and also created a robust and reliable database of about 11 million capacity.


• He introduced vehicle tacking technology in FRSC to monitor the movement of all Patrol Vehicles in various Commands nationwide. Through this medium, it became easy to deploy Patrol Vehicles to distressed locations for traffic control/management and to notify ambulances to respond to distress calls within any location of a crash or emergency. Go to the FRSC National Headquarters and see for yourself.

• In April 15, 2013 FRSC made history by becoming the First and Only ISO 9001 QMS Certified Law Enforcement Agency in Africa. This certification has enabled FRSC to establish robust processes and a procedure open to a third party assessment for continual improvement.


• During his tenure as the Corps Marshal, FRSC won the prince Michael of Kent award on road safety, World Bank recognition as best example of lead agency in Africa and the National Productivity Order of Merit Award.

• Here this. In 2008, FRSC’s rating by SERVICOM was unsatisfactory, in 2009, FRSC came 3rd position, in 2010, FRSC picked the 2nd position. From 2011 till he left office, FRSC earned the enviable 1st position.

• To enhance communication amongst FRSC staff, his administration initiated the Close User Group (CUG) telephone lines. Between 2008 and 2013, FRSC acquired a total of 3,108 CUGs. This was outside the telephone lines linked to the Callers Group where spouses of officers’ could communicate free within the group after making a token monthly payment.

Osita is a young man with ideas and he his technologically inclined. We need young men like him to transform Anambra state into the Dubai of Africa. Let the Ibos support him, let the Anambra people support him, let Nigeria in general support him. At the end, we will all be glad we did.

Let us give Osita a chance to transform Anambra the way he did in road safety

I am not an Ibo man. I think the Ibo people should learn to support their own especially those who in their little way have made tremendous difference. I strongly think that Osita is one material the Ibos should hold dear. I have read and seen what he had achieved in road safety. It is time we put sentiment aside and allow the best hand to mold the clay. Let me share with you some of his verifiable achievements in road safety.
