Freetown 3rd July 2026 — The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) of Nigeria and the Sierra Leone Road Safety Authority (SLRSA) have signed a landmark five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), deepening regional cooperation on road safety across West Africa.
The agreement, signed at the FRSC National Headquarters in Abuja, sets a new benchmark for institutional partnership, knowledge exchange, and coordinated action aimed at reducing road traffic fatalities and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals.
Under the MoU, both agencies will collaborate on innovation, capacity building, data-driven road safety management, research, vehicle administration, and enforcement.
SLRSA Executive Director, James Bagie Bio, hailed the partnership as a defining moment, praising the professionalism and technological advancement of the FRSC under Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed. He pledged that Sierra Leone would ensure immediate implementation of the agreement, declaring: “This MoU will not gather dust on the shelf.”

He described the partnership as a strategic bridge that would strengthen regional integration and collective efforts to safeguard lives on African roads.
The ceremony marked another milestone in Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed’s drive to expand FRSC’s international partnerships and position the Corps as Africa’s leading road safety institution. With the agreement now in force, both organizations are poised to champion a new era of cross-border collaboration, innovation, and shared responsibility in pursuit of safer mobility across the ECOWAS region.
