Part 3/7:
In the discussion surrounding this tragic event, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has shared insights into the primary causes of road crashes in Nigeria. According to Mr. Samuel I.O., the FC sector Commander for Oyo State, about 85% of road traffic crashes are attributed to human factors. Other contributing factors include mechanical issues with vehicles and environmental conditions.
The human element remains crucial as it encompasses not only the actions of drivers but also the behavior of passengers and other road users. Effective road safety measures, including driver education and awareness campaigns, have become imperative to curb the rising fatalities on Nigerian roads.
