The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has been awarded the Kofi Annan Award for the Best Road Safety Agency in Africa, recognizing its efforts in promoting road safety and reducing traffic-related incidents across Nigeria.
The award was presented at the 7th Africa Road Safety Forum held in Marrakech, Morocco, where delegates from various countries gathered to assess progress and share strategies for improving road safety across the continent. The recognition places FRSC at the forefront of road safety advocacy and implementation in Africa.
Accepting the award on behalf of the Corps, the FRSC Corps Marshal described the recognition as a significant milestone in the agency’s commitment to saving lives and ensuring safer roads. He attributed the achievement to the dedication of personnel, institutional reforms, and the deployment of technology in traffic management and enforcement.
He also reaffirmed the agency’s resolve to intensify its efforts through continuous public education, enforcement of traffic laws, and collaboration with national and international partners. He noted that the award would further motivate the Corps to pursue its goal of drastically reducing road crashes and fatalities.
The Kofi Annan Award is named in honor of the former United Nations Secretary-General, who championed global road safety initiatives and supported the implementation of the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety.
