The Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, confirmed the development in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.
He said: “The landmark appointment by his Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, makes the new Corps Marshal, the second career staff to be appointed in that capacity after Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi the erstwhile Corps Marshal.
Deputy Corps Marshal Dauda Ali Biu was born in Zaria, Kaduna State. The seasoned road safety professional hails from Hawul Local Government Area of Borno State.
“He joined the services of the Federal Road Safety Corps in 1988 and rose through hard work, dedication, and commitment to the rank of Deputy Corps Marshal and has held several positions of authority too numerous to mention. These include the position of Acting Corps Marshal, Deputy Corps Marshal in charge of the Finance and Accounts Department at the National Headquarters Abuja, among others.
