FRSC finds highest number of accidents in Abuja

The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has founded the largest amount of accidents in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

FRSC comes up with 2 smart ways to stop accidents

This revelation was announced by Mr Kingsley Agomoh, the Zonal Commanding Officer of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) on August 1, 2016.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the FRSC is analysing the accidents, in order to reduce the crashes.

"In response to the Dashboard analysis for 1st quarter and 2nd quarter 2016, which reveals that FCT has the highest number of crashes nationwide, the Zone is presently analysing details of the crash occurrences.

This is with a view to identifying prevalent causes, location and time of the day.

The revelation arising from this analysis will help in initiating strategies to curb the trend in line with the 2016 Corps Strategic Objective to reduce RTC by 15 per cent and fatalities by 20 per cent,’’ the Officer said.

Agomoh called out FCT motorists for their reckless driving attitude, adding that most accidents are caused by drinking, and other human errors.

"FCT residents love to relax at weekends by visiting clubs or gardens to drink, the challenge, however, is that they still want to drive after drinking which is not right.

Use public transport if you must drink at weekends so that someone who has not taken alcohol will take you home safely rather than you being under the influence and cause crash on the road,’’ he said.

The locations with the most accidents in the FCT are: Abaji-Kwali, AYA-Nyanya, Yangoji-Abaji, Umar Musa Yar’Adua Express Way and Kubwa Express Way.
