Nigeria’s Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says road crashes fall by 27% during the 2026 Eid-el-Kabir celebrations. According to FRSC figures cited by multiple outlets, the crash rate decreases compared with the prior baseline used for the operation. The reports also state that the number of crash victims declines by 22% during the same period, indicating fewer people are affected by incidents on the roads.
Both sources attribute the improved safety outcomes to FRSC’s road safety strategy during the holiday period. They say the Corps deploys personnel and operational assets across key transport routes and corridors nationwide to manage traffic and reduce crash risks. The reports present the figures as part of FRSC’s holiday control and monitoring efforts, with the overall outcome described in terms of lower crash frequency and fewer victims.
The FRSC’s statements are the central basis of the reporting, and the outlets focus on the reported percentage changes and the operational deployment approach during the celebration period.
