Overview

The Nigeria Road Safety Strategy (NRSS) 2014-2018 is a medium-term plan for road safety management in Nigeria, developed in response to the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety (2011-2020) and a World Bank Country Capacity Review. The strategy aims to reduce road traffic crashes, fatalities, and injuries through a Safe System Approach, targeting a 35% reduction in fatality rate by 2018. The document outlines institutional arrangements, a monitoring framework, and implementation challenges. It highlights the economic impact of road crashes, which cost about USD 10 billion in 2012, and emphasizes the need for a coordinated national approach. The NRSS seeks endorsement from the National Economic Council (NEC) and aligns with national development plans like Vision 20:2020 and the Transformation Agenda.
