When the Federal Government of Nigeria established the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) on February 18, 1988, it was generally seen as the culmination of all past efforts to address the growing menace of road traffic crashes in the country which put Nigeria road as the most dangerous to drive vehicles on, second only to Ethiopia.
The responsibility of bringing down the rate and fatalities of the crashes fell on the founding fathers of the organisation, who had earlier proved their mettle in road crash management campaigns through private initiatives.
With the Nobel Laurette, Professor Wole Soyinka, as the founding Chairman of the Commission working in tandem with Dr Olu Agunloye who was the pioneer Corps Marshal of the FRSC, the foundation of a modern organisation built on the ideals of knowledge, service delivery and technology was solidly laid.
