 By Genesis ogiri, Abuja 

Abuja, Nigeria — Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM) Hafiz Mohammed of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has been honoured with a prestigious Fellowship Award by the Chartered Institute of Information and Strategy Management (CIISM). The honour was bestowed at a high-level continental gathering organized under the banner of the African Union Agenda 2063 Ambassadorial Assembly.

The event, themed “Say No to Terrorism, Kidnapping, and Banditry,” brought together diplomatic representatives, peace ambassadors, government officials, and strategic actors across sectors to deliberate on sustainable solutions to Africa’s growing security challenges. It also served as a platform to recognize distinguished individuals contributing meaningfully to safety, leadership, and strategic information management across the continent.

In his acceptance remarks, ACM Hafiz Mohammed expressed deep appreciation for the recognition and acknowledged the critical role of the CIISM in fostering a culture of information integrity and institutional collaboration.

 “Information is key to sustainable development and public safety,” he stated. “I am deeply honoured by this recognition and reaffirm my commitment, as well as that of the Federal Road Safety Corps, to continue partnering with reputable institutions like the Chartered Institute to promote responsible leadership and societal order.”

ACM Hafiz seized the opportunity to address the general public, especially road users, urging them to embrace road discipline as an essential civic obligation. He emphasized that respect for traffic rules and patient driving behavior are central to reducing accidents and achieving national development goals.

ACM Hafiz Mohammed affirmed that road discipline and strategic information management are not just complementary elements of public safety but are foundational pillars for achieving Africa’s broader development goals. He emphasized that adherence to traffic regulations, patience on the roads, and responsible driving behavior are civic duties that directly impact national stability and economic progress.

 Simultaneously, he underscored the critical importance of accurate, timely, and well-managed information in shaping effective policies, fostering inter-agency collaboration, and enhancing public awareness. According to him, these two factors—when integrated into national frameworks—serve as essential drivers in the realization of the African Union’s Agenda 2063, which envisions a peaceful, safe, and prosperous continent led by informed citizens and accountable institutions.

“Road safety is not just a regulatory concern—it is a national imperative,” he stressed. “When citizens obey traffic laws and exercise patience, they not only save lives but also contribute to the broader peace and progress envisioned in Agenda 2063.”

The African Union Agenda 2063 represents the continent’s blueprint for a unified, peaceful, and prosperous Africa driven by its own citizens. The event organizers highlighted the alignment of road safety and strategic information management with the Agenda’s aspirations for good governance, safety, and inclusive development.

The recognition of ACM Hafiz Mohammed by the CIISM underscores the vital role of public institutions and information professionals in shaping a resilient and forward-looking Africa. His call for inter-agency collaboration, citizen engagement, and data-informed leadership resonated strongly with delegates, many of whom echoed a commitment to deeper continental cooperation in addressing insecurity and promoting civic responsibility.

As Africa advances toward the goals of Agenda 2063, the leadership example of individuals like ACM Hafiz Mohammed stands as a beacon of the values needed to navigate the continent toward a future marked by safety, accountability, and strategic progress.

In recognizing ACM Hafiz Mohammed’s contributions, the Fellowship Award not only celebrates individual excellence but also reinforces the vital connection between disciplined civic behavior, strategic governance, and continental progress. 

As Africa moves steadily toward the aspirations outlined in Agenda 2063, the need for visionary leaders, informed citizens, and collaborative institutions becomes ever more urgent. ACM Hafiz’s call for road discipline and data-driven decision-making stands as a timely reminder that sustainable development begins with individual responsibility and is sustained through collective action. His recognition signals a broader commitment to building an Africa that is safe, secure, and strategically positioned for global relevance.
