The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has
recorded 8,527 road traffic crashes (RTC)
across the country from January to date,
Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi
Kazeem, said.
Mr Kazeem told the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja
that 4,163 people were killed in crashes
during the period.
This would give an average of about 12
people daily since the start of the year.
The official said that 59,724 people were
involved in the road crashes in which
14,425 vehicles were involved.
He said that 4,163 people died, while
27,408 were injured in the accidents while
27,523 escaped without injuries.
Mr Kazeem added that 621,776 offences
were recorded during the period and
555,991 motorists were apprehended and
penalised for various road traffic offences.
“A total of 108,759 apprehended offenders
were cautioned and enlightened on basic
safety tips and were allowed to go
without any fine,” he said.

Mr Kazeem, who frowned at the negative
attitude of some road users, warned that
the FRSC would intensify enforcement
and public enlightenment on safety.
“FRSC adopts a multi-dimensional and
holistic approach when it comes to
achieving safer motoring environment.
“Every year, the corps does a general
assessment and analysis of its strategies
so as to strengthen areas where we made
progress and work on areas that we could
not achieve much in preparation for the
next year.
“It is this inbuilt consistency and
dynamism that has helped us achieve this
much in crash reduction and the Corps
has already swung into action,” he said.
Mr Kazeem said that the FRSC had
constituted an aggressive engagement of
stakeholders and major fleet operators
other than enlightenment to reduce
statistics of road crashes.
“Key road safety issues that will
drastically bring down crashes associated
with the fleet have been agreed upon.
“Aside that, in the event of any
breakdown, strategies have been put in
place to ensure prompt removal of all
broken down trucks and others on the
road,” he said. (NAN)

Being a surviver doesn't just end at this stage, the question will be will the poor medical system of Nigeria aid recovery?

Good Lawd!
