The FRSC has reduced the rate of road accidents in Nigeria by 62 per cent since its establishment on February 18, 1988, according to its Kaduna sector commander, Mr Umar Ibrahim. “The corps has recorded a milestone; it has reduced road accidents from 25,792 in 1988 to barely 9,694 in 2016, representing 62 per cent decrease in road accidents,” he said yesterday in Kaduna. He said that before the establishment of the FRSC, Nigeria had one of the most accident-prone roads in the world and was second only to Ethiopia. Ibrahim attributed the success to intensive public enlightenment and highway operations designed to curb road accidents. Umar, who spoke at a dinner to wind up week-long activities to mark FRSC’s 30 years, urged the personnel to work hard toward further reducing accidents on the nation’s roads, and advised Nigerians to obey traffic regulations. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that six officers of the sector, who had distinguished themselves in the performance of their duties, were given special rewards during the dinner. Those honoured included Deputy Road Commander Waheed Salihu, who emerged the best patrol man of the sector. Also honoured were Road Commander Aliyu Audu and Road Commander Sain Gwom Ambisa, who emerged second and third best respectively. Others included Route Marshal Assistant Isah Kabir, Assistant Chief Inspector Halilu Abubakar and Assistant Chief Inspector Lawal Ahmed. The Kaduna Zonal Commander of the corps, Assistant Corps Marshal Bulus Darwang, who also spoke at the dinner, commended the officers and marshals for a job well-done, and urged them to sustain the tempo.

We don hear, herdsmen killings has trippled.

So the number of vehicles increased ,but accidents decreased

Only in Nigeria.

^^Govt of change use poverty to improve pothole avoidance skill of the people.

this is fake.
in a country where road accidents are unreported except when there is casualty cannot give a stat like this. Nigerians rather fight on the road than allow the traffic police and insurance company to deal with the matter. How can accident reduce when the conditions of the roads are getting worse? na magic?

a country way policemen uniform dirty like government school pupils. our policemen day smell ogogoro and if dem open their rotten teeth you go run. some day brown or yellow like say dem never brush since dem leave secondary school.

If you see policemen fingernails you go sorry for this country.

reduced by 62%? i doubt it

I hope they are not boasting about it because they are not responsible for that

may the soul of the departed rest in peace...buhari why?

That's good to hear......... If only this present government could boast of the same about Fulani herdsmen. Government of the Fulanis for the Fulanis and by the Fulanis.

Well, 2019 is around the corner! We'll do the needful.

Must every thing be politicized? Nawao.....so Buhari is a road safety worker too

Commendable.
