The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has emerged victorious as the Best Road Safety Agency in Africa. This monumental achievement is said to corroborate the Corps’ almost 4 decades of dedication, resilience and passion towards safeguarding lives on Nigerian roads.
The award was received at the 3rd edition of the Kofi Annan Road Safety Award held in Elzuwini in the Kingdom of Eswatini, South Africa.
Reacting to the recognition, the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed said the
Award represents a badge of honour for Nigeria, and a pure testament of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to unflinching support for FRSC and his believe in the Corps’ potential to serve as a model for other African nations aside the fact that the Corps’ tireless efforts to reduce road crashes and promote safe driving practices have paid off, earning recognition across the continent.
The Kofi Annan Road Safety Award was initiated by the Office of the United Nations Secretary General’s Special Envoy on Road Safety in collaboration with Kofi Annan Foundation.
