Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) is the government agency with statutory responsibilities for road safety administration in Nigeria. Founded in 1988, the FRSC operates in all Nigerian states as well as the Federal Capital Territory and is the leading agency in Nigeria on road safety administration and management. 

The statutory functions include: making the highways safe for motorists and other road users, as well as checking the roadworthiness of vehicles, recommending works and infrastructure to eliminate or minimise accidents on the highways, and educating motorists and members of the public on the importance of road discipline on the highways.

If you are caught violating any traffic rule and wish to waive your right to a court trial, the alternative is to pay the prescribed fine for the particular offence.
