Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows:

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) was established by the Nigerian Federal Government under Decree No. 45 of 1988, which was later amended by Decree No. 35 of 1992. The agency was created to address the escalating rate of road traffic crashes on Nigerian highways. Initially operating as an independent body under the Presidency, the FRSC was mandated to enforce traffic regulations, conduct motor vehicle inspections, and educate road users on safety precautions. In 1999, during an administrative restructuring, the corps was temporarily merged with the Nigeria Police Force; however, full operational autonomy was restored to the FRSC in 2003. Funding for the corps is derived primarily from annual federal budgetary allocations, supplemented by revenue collected from driver licensing fees and vehicle registration services.
