FRSC says road traffic crashes are a leading cause of death and disability in Nigeria
says over 40,000 people die annually from road traffic crashes in Nigeria.
He said it had an ambitious target to reduce road traffic deaths and injuries, which would be by 50 per cent by 2030. According to him, taking action to ensure safe roads, vehicles and behaviours and improve emergency care is paramount. “Ensuring safety must be at the core of efforts to re-imagine mobility, and thus road networks must be designed with the most-at-risk in mind, “he said.
This, he said, was to ensure safety at all costs, adding that the road network must be designed in consideration of the vulnerable road users who were the most at risk in mind.
