He said the death toll came from 4,459 accidents involving 28,826 persons.
The figures, from January to April, indicated that 691 died in January, 497 in February, 480 in March and 565 in April.
Boboye, who identified over-speeding as the major cause of accidents in Nigeria, said the perforation of aged cars on roads also contributed to the high level of accidents.
“There are more road users on the road, reasons for the high rate of accidents in January and April.
“The way at which we are experiencing road crashes that resulted in fatalities is alarming while the absence of toll plazas has made enforcement to be a bit difficult.
