The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) has strengthened its commitment to improving road safety through a strategic partnership with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
The two agencies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on July 24, 2025, aiming to broaden safety investigations across all modes of transport, including road, aviation, maritime, and railway.
The partnership will enable both agencies to create a more holistic approach to transportation safety, addressing critical areas such as enforcement and real-time response to accidents. By sharing expertise and resources, the two agencies plan to ensure comprehensive investigations into safety-related incidents, a key step toward preventing future accidents.
The Director General of NSIB, Captain Badeh, praised the FRSC’s ongoing improvements in enforcement and responsiveness to road safety and emphasised that the partnership would help NSIB provide safety recommendations that enhance the FRSC’s ability to carry out its mandate effectively.
The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Shehu Mohammed, highlighted the significance of the partnership, stating that it is all about making the environment safer, not just for aviation but also for roads and railways. The partnership aims to make Nigerian roads safer for the motoring public by implementing safety measures, standardizing investigation protocols, and improving accountability within the transport sector.
The NSIB and FRSC partnership is set to produce tangible outcomes, with both agencies working together to strengthen safety measures, streamline processes for accident investigation and response, and ultimately reduce transport-related fatalities and injuries.
