Reacting to this, the spokesperson of the FRSC, Bisi Kazeem said, “it is expedient to inform the public that the highest achievement was recorded in the third quarter 2023 (July to September). In the 3rd quarter, the Corps reduced RTCs by 37.6 percent, having reduced crashes from 3,412 in 2022 to 2,130 in 2023.

 

“Road traffic injuries were also reduced from 9,258 in 2022 to 5,864 in 2023 representing 36.7 per cent reduction while road traffic deaths were also reduced from 1,470 in 2022 to 880 in 2023, representing 40 per cent reduction in the number of people killed.

 

“On this note, it is pertinent to state that this significant decrease was achieved due to enhanced visibility on the highways, aggressive public education, broadened and expanded command structures, injection of more patrol, rescue and recovery vehicles into the operations of the Corps for prompt rescue services and speedy removal of obstructions, and of course, deployment of men and logistics to areas hitherto uncovered.”
