Every life lost to a road traffic crash is not just a statistic; it is a profound loss to a family, a community, and our nation\u2019s human capital.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The Federal Road Safety Corps has, been at the forefront of this critical national mission. For decades, your work in regulation, education, and emergency response has directly saved lives, preserved families, and protected our economic assets.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">A safe road network is indispensable for intra-African trade, tourism, and regional integration\u2014goals at the very heart of our foreign policy and the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">This launch today resonates beyond our domestic agenda. Road safety is a universal concern and a key pillar of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. As a member of the global community, Nigeria actively participates in international fora dedicated to improving transport safety and sustainable mobility.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Through our diplomatic missions, we engage in knowledge sharing and seek international partnerships to enhance our capacities in this sector. The Safe Wheel Nigeria magazine, therefore, presents a powerful new tool. It will serve as an ambassador of Nigeria\u2019s commitment to global best practices, showcasing our local innovations, challenges, and successes to an international audience.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is with great pleasure that I join you today to mark this significant milestone in &hellip; <a title=\"Goodwill message by the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb.
