Road accidents continue to be a major concern in Nigeria, with reckless driving and poor road conditions often contributing to tragic outcomes. Authorities and road safety agencies have been working tirelessly to raise awareness about safe driving practices and enforce traffic regulations. However, more efforts are needed to ensure the safety of road users, especially vulnerable groups such as children.
