Our Mission

Our mission is to ensure safer roads across Nigeria by partnering with the FRSC to reduce road accidents, promote responsible road use, and foster a culture of safety within communities.

Our Structure

The Special Marshals operate at four levels to maximize impact and coordination:

• Unit Level: The grassroots of the organization, where local Special Marshals, led by Unit Coordinators, engage directly with their communities under the supervision of Unit Commanders.
• State/Sector Level: Headed by State Coordinators who oversee Special Marshal units across their state and report to the Sector Commanders, this level ensures statewide alignment and coordination.
• Zonal Level: At this level, Special Marshals in multi-state zones are managed by Zonal Coordinators who report to the Zonal Commanding Officer.
• National Level: The highest level of Special Marshal administration, led by the National Coordinator. Supported by the National Executive Council (NEC), this body ensures nationwide strategic direction, communication, and alignment with the FRSC management.

Leadership Team

The National Executive Council (NEC) includes key officers such as the National Coordinator, Deputy National Coordinator, National Secretary, Assistant National Secretary, Treasurer, and Public Relations Officer, alongside Zonal Coordinators. This leadership team collaborates with the Corps Marshal and FRSC leadership to guide Special Marshal initiatives.

Our Impact

The Special Marshals currently number over 13,000 members across Nigeria, with the goal of expanding to 30,000. Since its inception, the organization has played a vital role in raising road safety awareness, enhancing patrol operations, controlling traffic, and supporting public enlightenment initiatives.

Special Marshals actively contribute to the Corps’ operations through donations of patrol equipment, funding for public awareness programs, and participation in national events. Additionally, members serve as advocates for road safety in various sectors of society, from academia and civil society to the media and corporate sectors.

Our core functions include:

1. Monitoring Road Users: Observing and providing feedback on road safety compliance.
2. Traffic Control and Patrols: Participating in group patrols, traffic control, and offense bookings.
3. Public Awareness: Organizing workshops, conferences, and educational campaigns to promote road safety.
4. Supporting Road Safety Clubs: Engaging young people through road safety clubs and educational programs.
5. Policy Input: Contributing to policy discussions to shape FRSC road safety strategies.
