FRSC reaffirms commitment to road safety, calls for stronger highway safety measures
Lagos, June 25, 2026, The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) on Thursday reaffirmed its commitment to safer highways, stronger enforcement and public education at the 10th anniversary lecture of City Business News in Lagos.
Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed said the FRSC will continue to promote safer road use through enforcement and advocacy.
He said the Corps works with stakeholders to reduce crashes and prevent loss of lives on Nigerian highways.
“The joy of FRSC is when we do not record loss of lives on our highways,” Mohammed said.
He stressed the importance of cooperation between agencies and road users to improve safety outcomes.
He said no organisation can achieve road safety goals alone without partnerships.
“Partners will work with responsible organisations to achieve safety objectives,” he said.
Mohammed said the FRSC will continue public enlightenment campaigns to encourage safe driving habits.
He also said enforcement remains critical to reducing road crashes and improving compliance with traffic regulations.
President of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, supported stronger road safety enforcement.
He said logistics efficiency depends on safe and well-managed road systems.
Oyeyemi said road transport dominates Nigeria’s freight movement and requires strict safety standards.
He linked poor road discipline and weak enforcement to increased accidents and infrastructure damage.
Stakeholders praised FRSC efforts in improving awareness among road users.
The said safety campaigns have helped reduce reckless driving behaviour in some sectors.
They noted that transport safety contributes to business continuity and economic stability.
The stakeholders also said that collaboration between regulators and private operators strengthens the transport ecosystem.
The anniversary lecture brought together transport regulators, logistics operators, and industry stakeholders.
Participants agreed that road safety remains essential to efficient logistics and national economic development.
