Road Safety is a challenge that has provoked global, regional and national concerns on tackling its consequences through numerous approaches. Apart from evolving local content initiatives which are uniquely adaptable and effective to peculiar environments, global partnerships and sharing of road safety experiences on addressing major risk factors on road safety (speed, seatbelt, helmet, drink- driving etc.) 2#32017 Corporate Strategic Goals 1 Enhance Public Education and Enlightenment Improve Enforcement 2 Reduce RTC-15% and Post Crash Care Reduce Fatality- 25% Strengthen Professionalism and Advance Road 4 Transparency Safety Administration 3 At the beginning of the year, four (4) major goals were set to be achieved. This provided guidance and focus for the Corps in achieving the Decade of Action for Road Safety. The performance of the Corps were reviewed quarterly. 3#42017 Corporate Strategic Goals- How FRSC Performed S/N Month Fatality RTCs 1 Percentage Reduction compared to 2016 Baseline figures. 70.99% 73.50% At the end of March 2017 2 Percentage Reduction compared to 2016 Baseline figures at the end of 45.68% 47.81% June, 2017. 3 Percentage reduction compared to 2016 baseline figures at the end of 26.64% 32.50% September, 2017. 4 Percentage reduction compared to 2016 baseline figures at the end of 3.74% 14.45% December, 2017.

The road and its infrastructures operated on higher pressure and required greater surveillance for safety. FRSC was called up for the task. 5#6Manpower and Logistics deployment during Abuja Airport Closure The diversion of air traffic to kaduna implied that FRSC needed to improve on its visibility and road safety services along the stretch of road between the two (2) airports.

To enhance road safety within the period, more Staff of FRSC were deployed to man the new outposts, while additional tow trucks were provided for the removal of obstructions. 80#9Introduction of Outposts The diversion of passengers to the Kaduna airport put more pressure on the Abuja-Kaduna highway - an estimated driving distance of 199 kilometres. The new outposts, were located at: Idu Railway Station Madalla Tafa Jere Rugasa Railway Station Alheri Camp Barkin Ruwa Kaduna Airport Barkin Ruwa There were five outposts on the Abuja-Kaduna axis before the additional eight, bringing the total to 13 in 2017. 6#10FRSC Command spread-nationwide Year Number of Number of Number of Number of Number of Zonal Sector Unit Commands Commands Commands at Outposts established at Command formation at the in existence end of the year end of the year end of the Year 2014 12 37 171 4 224 2015 12 37 206 9 264 2016 12 37 201 13 263 2017 12 37 198 33 280 10 10#11Winding up on Safe-Corridor Project The Safe Corridor Project is a success story in Nigeria. The programme led to the equipping of six critical corridors with road safety provisions.

The major objective is to expand the scope and reach of road safety education and enlightenment in Nigeria. Although a number of radio stations in the country air road safety programmes, the impact needs to be increased, hence, the lead initiative of FRSC to establish a Traffic Radio. 26#27Coordination of States Traffic Agencies Recognizing that Road Safety is a shared responsibility, the FRSC has for long encouraged each State of the Federation on establishing a State Traffic Management Agency that will effectively manage and coordinate road safety matters at the State level while working harmoniously with the FRSC on building capacity and training. FRSC has assisted several States in setting up their own State Traffic Management Agencies using some proven parameters as shown: S/No Parameter 1 Legal Regime 2 Manpower 3 Budget 4 Infrastructure 5 Road Traffic Crashes 27 27#28Edo Ekiti Anambra Coordination of States Traffic Agencies...2 As a facilitator on this initiative, the Corps has convened two (2) meetings with all Heads of State Traffic Management Agencies between 2016 and 2017.
