FRSC to Establish Driving Training Centre at University of Port Harcourt

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) is set to establish a Driving Training Centre at the University of Port Harcourt, to be located within the Centre for Logistics and Transport Studies, NEMA House.

A team from the FRSC National Headquarters visited the University on Friday, 12th September 2025, to inspect proposed facilities in line with the Driving School Standardization Programme (DSSP) requirements.

Speaking at the inspection, Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed, represented by the Head of Driving School, Mr. Sunday Attah, expressed satisfaction with the standard of the University’s facilities. He commended the institution for its readiness to host the pilot project, noting that the Centre would be replicated across other parts of the country in the future.

During an earlier courtesy visit to the University Management, the Corps Marshal explained that UniPort was selected for the pilot scheme due to its strategic national importance.

In response, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Owunari Abraham Georgewill, represented by the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration), Professor Chukwudi Onyeaso, welcomed the initiative and reaffirmed the University’s commitment to partnerships that promote academic excellence and national development.
