Today marks a historic leap in Nigeria’s road safety journey as Alhaji Aliko Dangote performed the foundation laying ceremony of the proposed Kwapda’as Road Safety Demands (KRSD) Trauma Centre at Kabusa, FCT Abuja. This monumental project stands as a beacon of hope, designed to provide swift, life-saving emergency response for road crash victims and strengthen our national commitment to safer roads. It is the time to Remember, Support and Act for a safe motoring environment. With this groundbreaking, a new era of compassion, preparedness, and innovation begins. The KRSD Trauma Centre is more than a building, it is a legacy of humanity and a lifeline for countless families. Powered by the vision of the Founder, Her Lordship Honourable Justice Monica Dombam Mensem, and the generosity of Alhaji Aliko Dangote, it signifies a future where timely medical intervention will drastically reduce preventable fatalities. Today, we celebrate progress, partnership, and purpose, a powerful reminder that when visionary leaders invest in safety, communities thrive and lives are transformed.

Africa once again becomes the heartbeat of global road safety as leaders, influencers, policymakers, and humanitarian champions gather for the International Road Crash Victims African Conference themed; “Gathering the World in Africa for Road Crash Victims.” From the arrival of dignitaries to the powerful opening ceremony, the two day session reflects a continent united in compassion, innovation, and action. With the presence of FRSC, KRSD, global agencies, traditional institutions, and international partners, this conference marks a new dawn for the protection of every road user across Africa. The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Distinguished Senator George Akume CON, reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety. Eminent voices including state governors, ministers, agency heads, and development partners also delivered goodwill messages, each echoing the urgency of saving lives and supporting survivors. Every contribution reinforced one truth: African lives matter, and the world is listening. As the Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed gives the Vote of Thanks, the message is loud and clear: Africa is not waiting; Africa is leading. Together, we honour victims, empower survivors, and strengthen the resolve to make every journey safe. The world has gathered… and Africa is rising.
