Osun State has the lowest record of accident cases in Nigeria, the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) said yesterday.

The commission, which flagged off its 2015 Ember Months Campaign at Oshogbo, the state capital, said the South West region recorded the least of road accidents, compared with other regions in the country.

Ondo State Commander of FRSC, Mr. Muhammed Husaini Hussain gave the result of accident rating, according to states and regions at the ceremony, which peaked the activities lined up for the campaigns.

The FRSC had earlier decorated key officials of the state government as Special Marshall (SM) at a ceremony, where his Chief of Staff, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, represented Governor Aregbesola.

Husaini called on the residents to continuously cooperate with the commission in its efforts to ensure “safest society and total security of lives and property on the roads.”

The state commander noted that FRSC has made available both human and material resources to meet the challenges of these periods, adding that the FRSC has always been proactive in all its programmes to mitigate the carnage on the roads.

“The Ember and Yuletide seasons happened to be the most challenging periods for us as many Nigerians, especially the road users, take advantage of the period to travel for various activities in haste. It has always been our plead to the road users to desist from road vices, such as speed violation, overloading, drunk driving, use of cell phones while driving, non-use of seat belts, use of worn-out tyres among others. To avoid being prosecuted, there must be strict compliance to all our rules and regulation, “ he said.
