Road Safety in Nigeria works because competent and qualified individuals are employed to perform their duties with dedication. The workers are usually recruited by the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) after proper evaluation and screening to see that applicants are fit for the job. 

Who is a Road Safety Recruit? 

A road safety recruit is a person who has undergone all stages of the screening and recruitment process to work for the Federal Road Safety Commission. These recruits must have presented the necessary qualifications, skills, and commitment required to serve as responsible officers in the field of road safety. While they must have the important qualifications, they are also made to go through a training process organized by the FRSC to see that they can handle relevant tasks such as traffic regulations, ensuring road safety, and promoting public awareness to enhance safe road usage. However, there are other responsibilities of a road safety recruit and, they include: 

• Operating at assigned duty stations and maintaining discipline.
• Ensuring that no accidents occur as a result of negligence on the driver’s part. 
• Ensuring smooth traffic flow at all times, especially during congested periods. 
• Inspecting vehicles to confirm that they are fit for the road and comply with safety standards. 
• Building a positive relationship with road users and the community at large. 

How can I access the Road Safety recruitment portal?  

The Road Safety recruitment portal functions as the central hub for the organization, addressing the requirements of people who would like to engage with the agency online and get information about the recruitment process. However, it is important to note that the organization only gives access to the recruitment portal whenever it is time to hire. If the organization is not hiring currently, you may not have access to any recruitment portal. 

The FRSC (Federal Road Safety Commission) is an organized body and would inform the general body of its intention to recruit whenever the time is right. But, if you need to get other information or resources concerning the organization, you can always visit the official website of the Federal Road Safety Commission. 

How does the recruitment process work? 

Currently, the FRSC is not recruiting. However, if you are looking to apply during the next hiring season, here are the requirements: 

• You must have an ND, HND, or B.sc certificate from any recognized institution in Nigeria. 
• You must be within the age of 18-35 years 
• You must have a minimum height of 1.69 (if you are a male) and 1.65 if you are a female. 
• You must be computer literate and be able to speak good English. 
• You must be Nigerian 

It is also important that there is not a chance to work from home if you are looking to work with the FRSC because all duties and tasks are carried out on the field. 

To apply, you need this information:

• There is usually an application portal (so when it is time, you can look pit for it)
• Make sure that you have an active email address 
• You will be expected to create an account with the FRSC that gives you access to track your application process. 
• Along the line, you may need to provide your certificate, school transcripts, resume, and references.
• You must recheck and confirm all information before submitting your application. 

The FRSC is not biased and only recruits based on merit. If you are qualified for the role, panic is unnecessary. You will most likely get the job.
