Nigeria's continual loss of GDP to road accidents

According to the Federal Road Safety Commission of Nigeria, about $3 billion is lost annually to several carshes on Nigeria's highways. Is it that lives of people are not valued in Nigeria? One will attribute the above  to the insensitive driving attitude of many especially Truck drivers who have on their own contributed to the monumental killings on our highways due to gross carelessness, driving under the influence of alchohol and drugs, king of the road syndrone, fatigue and use of poorly maintained trucks but to mention a few.

As an NGO, we are continually promoting awareness on the dangers posed by irresponsible road safey behaviour as their consequences are dire. Safety is something we should all embrace in order to improve economic and social development of our great country.
