FRSC launches mobile app to curb road crashes
The Federal Road Safety Corps has launched a mobile app and National Crash Reporting Information System to address road traffic crashes and other road safety-related issues across the country.
George Akume, secretary to the government of the federation, speaking at the launch on Thursday in Abuja, described the achievement as a milestone for FRSC.
He stated that the digital transformation of the corps’ operational activities aimed to improve administration and deliver on its mandate.
According to him, the mobile app and NACRIS will raise awareness and sensitise drivers and passengers to potential causative factors of road traffic crashes.
“The launch is a testimony to the FRSC Corps Marshal’s commitment to fulfilling his promises and implementing policies aimed at creating a safer motoring environment. Data on road traffic crashes reveals that between January and December 2023, 5,081 Nigerians lost their lives, and 31,874 were injured. Furthermore, between January and July 2024, 2,776 persons were killed, and 16,309 injured due to road traffic crashes,” stated Mr Akume.
He commended the FRSC for aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda for digital transformation and economic growth.
FRSC corps marshal Shehu Mohammed stated that the FRSC had been actively formulating and implementing policies to improve road safety administration.
