Road crashes reduced by 39% in Zamfara in 2025, says FRSC
The Federal Roads Safety Corps says it recorded a 38.9 per cent reduction in auto crashes on the major roads of Zamfara in 2025.
The sector commander, Aliyu Maaji, said during a courtesy visit to the Nigeria Union of Journalists, on Thursday in Gusau.
Mr Maaji said the development was a statistical comparative reduction of 2024 and 2025 which gave a margin of 38.9 per cent as at December 2025.
He attributed the success to the level of public awareness and sensitisation being carried out through media outlets which enabled FRSC to reach grassroots communities.
Mr Maaji called on them to join FRSC special marshals to further contribute their quota in the enforcement of traffic laws, control and rescue of crash victims.
According to Mr Maaji, involvement of media personnel in special marshals would enhance public awareness and mutual trust.
The sector commander noted with concern how traffic signs were vandalised, and called for collective efforts to protect them.
The chairman of NUJ in Zamfara, Ibrahim Maizare, commended the sector commander for keeping a mutual relationship with journalists.
He promised the union’s continued support in propagating the activities of FRSC in Zamfara.
