FRSC Debunks Alleged 50 Recruitment Slots for Gombe Lawmaker’s Constituents
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has debunked a viral social media publication alleging that the lawmaker representing Balanga/Billiri Federal Constituency of Gombe State in the House of Representatives, Ali Isah, secured 50 recruitment slots for his constituents.
The Corps described the claim as misleading, stressing that no appointment letter has been issued to any candidate under its ongoing 2026 recruitment exercise.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, the FRSC said the publication could create a false impression about the integrity of its recruitment process and did not represent the position of the Corps.
The Corps clarified that candidates who successfully passed various stages of the screening and interview processes had only been invited to designated training schools and the FRSC Academy for further stages of the recruitment exercise.
It stressed that such invitations did not constitute appointments, noting that candidates were still required to successfully complete prescribed training, screening, regimentation and other mandatory processes before they could be considered for appointment.
“Only candidates who satisfactorily complete all the required stages and emerge without any disqualifying record will be considered for appointment in accordance with established procedures,” the Corps stated.

The FRSC, under the leadership of Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed, mni, said it remained committed to a recruitment process based on merit, transparency, due process and institutional integrity.
It further stated that no individual, political office holder, group or external interest had the authority to confer appointments into the Corps outside the established recruitment framework.
The Corps urged members of the public, applicants and social media users to disregard claims suggesting that recruitment slots had been allocated to individuals, constituencies or political interests.
It warned that such publications could deceive unsuspecting applicants and expose them to fraudulent activities by individuals seeking to exploit the false impression created by the reports.
The FRSC said it would continue to provide official updates on the various stages of the recruitment exercise through its authorised communication channels.
It advised applicants to rely exclusively on official FRSC communications and exercise caution over messages or offers suggesting that recruitment could be secured through political influence, payment or personal connections.
The Corps reiterated that the 2026 recruitment exercise remained subject to the full statutory and administrative processes prescribed by the FRSC, stressing that no candidate should consider himself or herself an appointee until the entire process had been concluded and a formal appointment communicated by the appropriate authority.
