Applicants seeking positions as drivers or motorcycle riders must possess the appropriate class of valid driver’s licence.

The corps listed several conditions that every applicant must satisfy before submitting an application.

The FRSC further stated that only unmarried persons are eligible to participate in the recruitment exercise.
It also prescribed minimum height requirements for applicants.

The corps advised applicants to ensure that all educational certificates and professional qualifications are properly declared during the recruitment process.
It warned that qualifications not declared at the point of recruitment would not be recognised later for promotion or career advancement within the organisation.
“Ensure that all certificates and qualifications are declared and presented at the point of recruitment, as undeclared qualifications will not be accepted for future career progression in the Corps,” the notice stated.
The FRSC also said applicants must have good character, be financially responsible and have no criminal record.
According to the notice, candidates “must be of good character, free from financial indebtedness, and must not have been convicted of any criminal offence.”
In addition, applicants must not have tattoos on any part of their bodies.
The corps advised candidates to use their personal email addresses and telephone numbers when completing the online application to ensure smooth communication throughout the recruitment process.
The notice also advised pregnant women not to apply for the exercise.
The FRSC warned prospective applicants to be vigilant and avoid individuals or groups demanding payment in exchange for recruitment opportunities.
It reiterated that the entire recruitment process is free and that no applicant should pay any fee to secure employment.
“This recruitment is absolutely free. Interested applicants should beware of fraudsters,” the corps stated.
For further enquiries, members of the public were advised to contact the FRSC through its emergency number, 122.
Established in 1988, the Federal Road Safety Corps is Nigeria’s lead agency responsible for road traffic management and safety.
The organisation is charged with enforcing traffic regulations, educating motorists and other road users, responding to road crashes and promoting safer highways across the country.
The corps also conducts rescue operations during road accidents, removes obstructions from highways and works with other security and emergency agencies to improve road safety.
Over the years, the FRSC has expanded its operations to include emergency response, public enlightenment campaigns, traffic management, driver’s licence administration and vehicle registration support.
As road transportation remains the dominant means of movement for people and goods across Nigeria, the corps continues to play a vital role in reducing road crashes and improving compliance with traffic laws.
Recruitment exercises conducted by the agency often attract thousands of applications from young Nigerians seeking employment in the public sector.
However, authorities have repeatedly warned job seekers to avoid fraudsters who exploit recruitment exercises by demanding money with false promises of securing employment.
The FRSC’s latest warning is expected to help protect applicants from falling victim to such scams while ensuring that the recruitment process remains transparent and merit-based.
Interested Nigerians who meet the required qualifications are expected to submit their applications through the official recruitment portal from Friday, July 3, before the four-week application window closes.
