Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said there has been a 53 percent reduction in the total number of people killed in road traffic crashes during the 2023 Eid-El-Kabir, when compared to the same period in 2022. The corps’ public education officer, Bisi Kazeem, who revealed this yesterday in Abuja, said the reduction followed intensive special patrol operations nationwide by the corps, held from June 26 to July 1, 2023.

It was reported that the corps also announced a 25 percent reduction in the total number of Road Traffic Crashes and 43 percent reduction in the number of those injured out of the 522 people involved in the crashes. Kazeem attributed the low figures to what he termed as the corps rejigged operational tactics towards creating a safer motoring environment in
