Historic Perspective of FRSC

Prior to the establishment of Federal Road Safety Commission in 1988, there was no concrete and sustained policy action to address the carnage on Nigerian roads. Earlier attempts in this direction were limited to discrete and isolated attempts by some States of the Federation and individuals.

Notably among the efforts to institute a formidable road safety program, was the effort of Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (SPDC) between 1960–1965. The effort of the Nigerian Army in the training of its officers and men on road safety in the early 70’s also contributed to road safety idea and consciousness in Nigeria: The Nigerian Army started the First Public Road Safety Campaign in 1972 when it initiated an annual Road Safety Week.
