Kayode Olagunju Bows Out of FRSC

Assistant Corps Marshal Kayode Olagunju has retired from the Federal Road Safety Commission after spending more than 30 meritorious years in its service. He bowed out gallantly after he was promoted to the rank of Deputy Corps Marshal.

Capturing the moment, his wife, former newscaster, Seun Olagunju gushed over him as she posted a photograph taken during his emotional pull-out ceremony, which has earned him torrents of ovation. The decoration of his promotion to DCM took place at the National Headquarters of the FRSC in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, ahead of his retirement ceremony last week. Perhaps one of the highly educated officers of the FRCN, Olagunju holds a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Transport Geography from the University of Lagos. The Ilesha, Osun State-born also has some other professional qualifications from within and outside the country. He has served in various capacities, handling various assignments in different parts of the country. A two-time Sector Commander in Lagos, he was also a Sector Commander in Oyo, Kogi, Adamawa and Rivers States. Olagunju was a pioneer Corps Transport Standardisation Officer and a member of the FRSC management. He served briefly as the Corps Public Education Officer. The polo lover is also a part time lecturer. He is working to become a professor and plans to spend his retirement as a full time lecturer in a reputable university.
