The Federal Road Safety Corps’ new Ekiti State Sector Commander, Corps Commander Sanya Adeoye, recently visited Ado Ekiti’s paramount ruler, His Royal Majesty Dr. Rufus Adeyemo Adejugbe.

During the May 12, 2025 courtesy visit, Adeoye sought royal blessings while reinforcing FRSC’s partnership with the traditional institution.

Commander Adeoye expressed gratitude for the palace’s longstanding road safety support, acknowledging traditional leaders’ critical role in public safety campaigns.

The monarch warmly welcomed the FRSC delegation, praising the corps’ tireless efforts to protect road users.

He pledged continued collaboration, stressing how traditional-government partnerships achieve shared safety objectives more effectively.

This visit highlights FRSC’s stakeholder engagement strategy to boost compliance through cultural institutions. As Ekiti develops, such alliances will prove vital in maintaining road safety as a communal priority.
