Summary
Road traffic accidents occur when a vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or other. Edeagha Ehikhamenor, coordinator of Save Accident Victims Association (SAVA) said that the nation loses 30,000 persons yearly to accidents. This is only part of what the failing roads bring to its users. There has been a decline in the number of reported accident cases It first rose from 1413 in 1960 to its highest value of 40,881 in 1976, before declining to 14,361 in 2004. The number of persons injured rose continually from 10,216 in 1960 to 30,023 in 1978 and fell to 16,897 in 2004 These statistics are found to be much lower than the estimated values for Nigeria, especially by the WHO. The personal and social cost of those injuries is enormous and is aggravated by the poor financial status of the people affected by the problem
