The Corps Marshal and Chief Executive, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, said speeding accounts for 60 per cent of road crashes recorded in the country. Oyeyemi said this on Sunday at a thanksgiving service to mark the 4th United Nations Global Road Safety Week at the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Gigiriing, Jos, Plateau.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the global event has “Managing Speed” as its theme. Oyeyemi represented by Mr Oludare Fadogba, the Zonal Commanding Officer, Jos zone, said speeding remains the most prevalent cause of road crashes in Nigeria and across the globe. “Speeding is one of the most prevalent causes of road collision and attendant fatalities in Nigeria and even globally.

“The risk of crashes occurring is greater as speeding gets higher. “Statistics shows that speeding and the involvement of commercial vehicles consistently account for about 60 per cent of road traffic crashes in Nigeria.

“This is why the Federal Government has to endorse the implementation of the mandatory installation of the speed limit device on commercial vehicles to curtail accidents, “he said. He called motorists and all road users to key into the speed limit regime with a view to reducing loss of lives and properties from road accidents.

How Many Percent for FRSC Marshals running after vehicles? I saw one that killed a lady at MAITAMA

And the bad roads account for ??

Wehdone sir!

Oga ooooo
.wetin we no go hear for Naija .
meanwhile

Hmmm... Are dere even road safety in dis country sef??

OK n

No sir!! "Bad roads, 'poorly trained drivers' and 'low quality tyres' accounts for '60%', speeding "20%", 'trailers and heavy duty trucks', "illegal police checkpoints", "fulani herdsmen' accounts for "15%". The remaining "5%" nah 'village people' and other unforseen factors......

Bad roads in my opinion and stupid checkpoints



Cruising at 190 on a relatively good road is safe if you won't meet potholes or have to dodge them


100 into a corner is safe except when police have mounted their begging and harassing roadblocks around the corner

Rumor has it that police killed Dagrin , he swerved under that truck because police blocked the road and he wasn't expecting see them there



1 out of thousands of other rumors

So 60% of the road accident are caused by speeding ??

What would you say about "peace mass transportation "

BTW CHECK THIS.
https://informationengine./2017/05/07/10-things-to-do-before-clocking-35-years/

In my opinion it"s up to 80%

Check out my signature for quality and durable,furniture

God help us on the roads

How many percentage does the death traps on our roads account for?

Jeez!!!

Bad Roads is responsible for up to 70% of Accidents joor...

Some roads have pot holes as big as a pond..

Evading Potholes is responsible for more than half of all accidents yearly...

ok

Speeding my foot. Can one speed in Lagos traffic? I looked at the dataset used for the traffic analysis that was given to FRSC. So many inconsistencies. If you were from just a little observation speculate what causes accidents mostly in Nigeria, It's either 1. poor education ( many drivers simply dont know how to drive) and 2. little enforcement (people driving without licenses, all these tanker drivers that smoke marijuana,drunk driving, vehicles that are poorly maintained etc).

Some portions of the Autobahn in Germany have no speed limits (i.e you can go as your vehicle can take you) yet they have the least accidents per mile in Germany.

Frsc trying so hard to sell this their so called speed limiter.
What about bad roads ?

Bad roads account for 80% jor

Just a way to sell their stupid speed limiter devise when bad roads are already doing the limiter

Useless road safety thieves

while driving i almost had accident on two occasions first the road was too tiny, second case i veered of the road cus of port hole.
in my own assessment, road conditions accounts for 100% of road accident.

5 years ago coming from Lagos heading to Ede @2am


Police chased us without siren from somewhere after ibadan

I nearly got to Gbongon before I noticed we were being pursued

We parked, they checked us, we explained the convoy was grad students, our docs intact no contraband, non of us took alcohol, said they thought we were tokunbo
they eventually collected their normal " our fuel money"


Two of 9 cars 3 school busses left behind we were trying to catch others, almost got to gbongan junction speed was 220 didn't know there was a massive crater there, I sped into that pothole


Thankfully I was driving a German vehicle nobody got hurt, minor damage to the car


Two factors attributed to that pothole and police


Two most dangerous enemies of road users

So therefore that's the justification for enforcing speed limiters. Let's take care of the 40% first which includes bad roads, unlicensed drivers, poorly maintained vehicles, dangote trucks, fuel tankers, insufficient road marshals on the highways, illegal roadblocks. Tackle these before you enforce speed limiting devices.

And if there was street lights the pothole would be illuminated



But instead of protesting for all these amenities, ediots will be forming he's awa thief

Another 'account' that comes to mind for FRSC is the ticketing that has really increased their account balance.

False, Paul walker died on a road as smooth as a baby's butt...princess Diana died on a well paved and smooth road...they died because of SPEED.

I still believe this speed limiter is as a result of TSA, no more special account for those corrupt rogues. EFCC should track bank transactions of those "certified installers" I'm 98% sure there'll be transfers to those corrupt rogues called FRSC officers.
