Omon-Julius Onabu in Asaba
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has appealed to Nigerians agitating for the fractioning of the country to jettison such divisive tendencies but join hands with the Federal Government to build a more united and stronger country.
Prof Osinbajo made the appeal while he inaugurated the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Marshall Inspectorate Training School in Owa-Alero, Ika North-East Local Government Area of Delta State on Thursday.
The vice-president inaugurated the FRSC complex, which was built and fully equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and furniture by the Delta State Government, at a ceremony that was attended by eminent personalities including top-ranking state and federal government functionaries as well as traditional, religious leaders.

For some time now, the tenure of Boboye Oyeyemi, Corps Marshal and Chief Executive of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has been the subject of a debate with views querying the legality or otherwise of his continued stay as Nigeria’s number one Road Safety officer.
Those questioning his continued stay have obstinately held on to the provision of the Public and Civil Service Rules detailing the employment, discipline, recruitment, retirement and other conditions surrounding an employee of the government. They argued that having attained the age of 60 years as head of the FRSC, Oyeyemi automatically stopped enjoying the protection of the law to remain in office.
