Zamfara: FRSC seeks training partnership with fire service
The Zamfara State Sector Command of the Federal Roads Safety Corps, FRSC, has demanded collaboration with the State Fire Service.
The demand was made by state FRSC sector commandant, Umar Massaudu, during a courtesy visit to the director of the Zamfara State Fire Service Board, Abdullahi Jibbo, in Gusau, the state capital.
According to the FRSC sector commandant, part of the reason behind the visit was to establish collaboration on training and retraining of FRSC personnel on firefighting for effective rescue of accident victims.
Massaudu further stated that sometimes road crashes involve fire outbreaks, and the personnel would be helpless because of a lack of skills to operate firefighting tools. He appealed to the State Fire Service to help the corps with fire extinguishers and other firefighting tools.
The sector commandant further solicited the support of the Emir of Gusau, Alhaji Ibrahim Bello, on public enlightenment.
“We are appealing to you to talk to road users and the general public to be safety conscious on the roads always,” he said.
Responding, the director of Zamfara State Fire Service, Abdulahi Jibbo, assured that he would grant the request and give total support and cooperation to the FRSC command.
“We are very ready to provide you with the necessary fire-preventive tools and mechanisms.
“When FRSC personnel can effectively fight fire during accidents, more lives and property will be saved in the event of crashes,” he said.

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has welcomed Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, which is not an official government agency, to the Department of Defence, DOD.
According to Hegseth, DOD will partner with Musk and his team, adding that it is long overdue.
“When we spend dollars, we need to know where they’re going and why, and that has not existed at the Defence Department,” Hegseth told Fox News on Sunday.
“When we spend dollars, we need to know where they are going and why. That’s simple accounting, and that has not existed at the Defence Department, and we are going to fix that.
“But that is not even DOGE. We welcome Elon Musk and DOGE into our department to help us identify additional ways to streamline costs, fast-track acquisitions, cut waste, and reduce tail to put it to tooth.
“We know that in a world where America is, you know, $37 trillion in debt, resources will not be unlimited. Every dollar we can find that isn’t being spent wisely is one we can put towards warfighters.
“So we welcome DOGE at the DOD. We will partner with them, and it’s long overdue. The Defence Department has a huge budget—but it needs to be responsible.”
DAILY POST reports that US President Donald Trump had backed Musk and DOGE to swing into action to cut costs across agencies in the country.
The agencies include the US Treasury Department and the US Agency for International Development, USAID.
