ECA Rates Nigeria High In Road Safety [2015]
The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) has adjudged Nigeria as one of the best three performers among 23 countries in accomplishing activities of the African Road Safety Action plan.
This is according to a mid-term review report from the Third African Road Safety Conference organized by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), which took place in Addis Ababa.
The African Road Safety Action Plan, which owes its roots to the 2011 UN Decade of Action for Road Safety, placed priority on understanding of road safety institutional arrangements, road safety management and related activities, achievements, opportunities and challenges in African countries.
Kazeem revealed that the report from the conference stated that 40 percent of member countries are in the process of implementing more road safety management activities.
It listed Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa as the leading countries with clear prospects of accomplishing the activities of the African Road Safety Action Plan.
He added: “Performance of the Plan is measured based on road safety management, mobility, vehicles, road users, and post-crash response.”
It noted that varying results have thus far defined the afore-listed performance indicators, given that some countries record high rates of successes in some areas, but record low performances in others.
However, he stated that the report observed progress has so far been made.
It also advised that the importation of safer and newer vehicles and improved traffic education in schools are sure steps to reducing Road Traffic Crashes.
