Oyo State governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, on Wednesday, presented a brand new car to Major Rasaki Salawu (Rtd), the pioneer Director of Operations, Federal Road Safety Corps, (FRSC).
The car presentation was in recognition of the contribution of the retired military officer to the traffic management sector in the state in particular and the country as a whole.
The presentation formed part of the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration which took place at the Remembrance Arcade, Government House, Agodi, Ibadan.
While presenting the car, Governor Makinde said, “They told me about the difficulty that you have getting around because of the state of your vehicle.
“We thought that being a retired Major in the Nigerian Army, there cannot be a better time to also honour you than this day we are remembering our fallen heroes.
“So, on behalf of the Oyo State Government, I am presenting to you a brand new vehicle to move around easily. God bless you, Sir.”
In his response, Major Salawu expressed appreciation to Governor Makinde and the state for the gift.
He promised to continue to contribute his quota to improve the traffic management system in the state.
