FRSC Unveils Body Cameras, Mobile App, and Future Innovations at 37th Anniversary Celebration
Abuja, Nigeria – The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) marked its 37th anniversary with a showcase of cutting-edge technological advancements, including the introduction of body cameras, a mobile app, and a roadmap for future innovations aimed at enhancing road safety across Nigeria.
The event, held in Abuja, served as a platform for the FRSC to reaffirm its commitment to leveraging technology to improve traffic management, enforcement, and public engagement. As the country’s leading road safety agency, the FRSC has consistently evolved to address the challenges of modern road transport and ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians alike.
FRSC Introduces Body Cameras for Enhanced Law Enforcement
One of the most notable highlights of the anniversary celebration was the unveiling of body-worn cameras for FRSC officers. This initiative is designed to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in road traffic law enforcement. The body cameras will provide real-time video recording, helping to document interactions between officers and motorists, reduce incidents of misconduct, and ensure compliance with traffic regulations.
Speaking at the event, the Corps Marshal emphasized that the introduction of body cameras aligns with global best practices and is a significant step toward modernizing road safety enforcement in Nigeria. The technology will not only deter corruption but also provide crucial evidence in cases of disputes or violations.
New Mobile App to Improve Public Engagement and Service Delivery
In addition to the body cameras, the FRSC also unveiled a new mobile application designed to facilitate seamless communication between the agency and road users. The app, which will be available for download on both Android and iOS devices, aims to provide real-time traffic updates, allow motorists to report incidents, and offer digital access to essential FRSC services.
Users will be able to verify their driver’s license status, access road safety tips, and receive emergency response assistance directly through the app. This digital transformation aligns with the FRSC’s broader vision of leveraging technology to enhance road safety and reduce the response time to accidents and road-related emergencies.
Future Plans: A Roadmap for a Safer and Smarter Transport System
Looking ahead, the FRSC outlined ambitious plans to further integrate technology into Nigeria’s road safety framework. The agency aims to deploy advanced traffic management systems, artificial intelligence-driven analytics, and automated enforcement tools to improve compliance and reduce road fatalities.
The Corps Marshal highlighted upcoming initiatives such as:
Smart Traffic Monitoring Systems – Using AI-powered cameras and sensors to detect traffic violations in real time.
Integrated Road Safety Database – A centralized digital system for tracking vehicle and driver infractions.
Expanded Public Awareness Campaigns – Leveraging digital platforms and social media to educate Nigerians on road safety best practices.
FRSC’s Commitment to Safer Roads in Nigeria
As the FRSC commemorates 37 years of dedicated service, its renewed focus on technology-driven enforcement and public engagement underscores its mission to make Nigerian roads safer. The agency continues to advocate for responsible driving, compliance with traffic laws, and collaboration with stakeholders to achieve its vision of reducing road traffic crashes and fatalities.
With these latest advancements, the FRSC is setting the stage for a smarter, more efficient road safety management system in Nigeria—one that prioritizes accountability, innovation, and the protection of all road users.
