The Federal Road Safety Commission, widely and fondly known as (FRSC), is the government agency in Nigeria charged with the responsibility of maintaining road safety administration. It has its motto as ‘Creating Safe Road in Nigeria’.
The Federal Road Safety Commission was founded in 1988 by the Babangida’s government and it had its first Chairman as Professor Wole Soyinka.
Since its inception, the commission has been doing exceeding well, making the road a safe haven for not just motorists but commuters as well.

There are 23 medical doctors, 121 nurses, 51 paramedics and 57 supporting staff who manage the clinic.
Housing
The Federal Road Safety commission provides housing benefits for staff members through the FRSC housing cooperative scheme that was inaugurated in June 2004. The concept of this scheme was born out of the burning desire to assist members who also contribute to the National Housing Fund to access the Federal Mortgage Bank Loan and become proud owners of their houses which they may retire to.
The objective of the scheme is:
- To procure, build, and allot empty lands to her members
- To manage the estates for serving and retiring/discharging service-personnel.

Special marshals are covered by an insurance policy in case of death through road traffic accident. They are also protected by immunity provision in the Act. By this immunity clause, the special marshal is shielded from liability for any act validly done by him on the route to which he is assigned.
