Nigerians react

Some Nigerians have taken to social media to congratulate the FRSC personnel for their honesty and commendation but urged the agency to promote them instead of the mere letter of commendation

@Its_chi

Smile, this guy's self. In this hard economy instead of giving them a letter that won't add anything to their life's why not give them a promotion instead. This is why @PoliceNG to an extent is more better. Promote them this will encourage others to be of the best behaviour.
