The Federal Road Safety Corps, in collaboration with the Kwapda’as Road Safety Demand Foundation, has unveiled plans to host the inaugural International Road Crash Victims’ Advocacy Conference in Nigeria, scheduled for November 2025.
Speaking at a press conference held at the FRSC headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed stressed the need to shift global road safety conversations toward the realities of low- and middle-income countries, especially in Africa.
“And over the years, even when we are taking global health and safety conferences, the emphasis is more on the high-income countries, not what is being considered for the road traffic crash victims.
“That is why FRSC and KRSD Foundation came together to stage an African conference that will bring in technocrats, professionals, experts in road transport, traffic, and safety management and administration all over the world to come and showcase our country, our continent and our city, Abuja,” Mohammed said.
The FRSC Boss highlighted the humanitarian cost of traffic accidents, especially on families.
According to Mohammed, the initiative aligns with the administration of President Bola Tinubu, whose government is focused on improving the quality of life and economic development.
Also speaking at the press briefing, the Founder of the KRSD Foundation and President of the Court of Appeal, Hon. Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, formally announced IRCVAC 2025 as part of the Foundation’s 14th anniversary.
