INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
The
process of rapid and unplanned urbanization and the attendant transportation
problems has resulted in an unprecedented revolution in the growth of motor
vehicles worldwide. The alarming increase in morbidity and mortality owing to
road traffic accidents over the past few decades is a matter of great concern
globally. Worldwide, the number of people killed in road traffic crashes each
year is estimated at about 1.2million while the number injured could be as high
as 50million. The problem is increasing in the developing countries at a fast
rate, while it is declining in all industrialized nations. Furthermore, 90% of
road traffic death was found to occur in low income and middle income countries
Odero W. (2009) – the group to which Nigeria belongs. In Nigeria, fatal road
accidents were said to be on the rise and a major cause of death in adults less
than 50 years old in the country. Statistics from the Nigeria Police shows that
from 1955 to 1998, the number of people killed in road accidents increased from
489 in 1955 to 6500 in 1998. By the turn of 2004, the number was put at 5351
after falling from an all time peak of 11,382 in 1982. Similarly, there has
been a decline in the number of reported accident cases. It first rose from
1413 in 1960 to its highest value of 40,881 in 1976, before declining to 14,361
in 2004. Likewise, the number of persons injured rose continually from 10,216
in 1960 to 30,023 in 1978 and fell to 16,897 in 2004. These statistics are
found to be much lower than the estimated values for Nigeria, especially by the
World Health Organization (WHO) (5). This may not be unconnected with the poor
recording habit in the nation (6). According to WHO (7), almost 16,000 people
die from injuries sustained in road mishaps in Nigeria yearly, while several
thousands more end up with non- fatal injuries and permanent disabilities. In
Nigeria, as in most developing countries, a large number of hospital beds are
occupied by road accident casualties, representing high social security cost
for often tiny budgets. The personal and social cost of those injuries is
enormous and is aggravated by the poor financial status of the people affected
by the problem. This number of people with injuries and permanent disabilities
is the interest of this study. Definitely, a few studies have attempted to
study the pattern of road traffic accident inflicted injuries in Nigeria. At
the very least, it is obvious that the efforts of the Federal Road Safety
Commission (FRSC) in policy formulation targeted towards safety improvement are
a product of such studies Aluko O.O. (2006). The present study is thus intended
to add to the existing knowledge on the pattern of road traffic accidents in
Ekiti state.
Road
transportation is by far the commonest means of transportation in Nigeria when
compared to other means like air, rail and water. The technology has made life
easy compared to previous means of transportation such as the use of animals
during the pre-colonial era. Nigerian economy despite its flaws, has afforded a
large number of its populace the means to own cars making road traffic a major
problem with grave disadvantages. In Ekiti, road accidents have been a
disturbing phenomenon that has constituted a menace. It is generally believed
but not statistically proven that the rate of road accidents in Nigeria has
geometrically increased. Road accidents are caused by various reasons, ranging
from carelessness on the part of the drivers to the deplorable nature of our
roads. Put differently, Nigerian roads have become killing fields without
protection for their users. Travellers heave a sigh of relief if they make
their destinations. The worrisome trend has tremendous negative impact on the
nation’s health system as well as its social and economic aspirations. It was
estimated that the total number of registered vehicles in Nigeria rose between
1990 – 2006 from 700,000 to 6,000,000 (Umar 2010). Despite the happiness this
brought and change of quality of family lives associated with owning a vehicle,
its possession has made so many families bereaved of their breadwinners or
lovely ones due to unprecedented rate of road traffic accidents in Nigeria.
According to the Federal Road Safety Commission, not less than 88,520 road
users lost their lives between 1991 and 2000 alone, most victims being between
20-40 years. There is need to view road accident as a very major issue
requiring urgent attention aimed at preventing premature deaths, reducing the
health, social and economic impacts it portends to the average Nigerian. This
disturbing assertion will be the bedrock of our statistical study on road
accidents in Nigeria.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In Ekiti State today, the issue of road accidents has become
a teething problem. According to premium times newspaper in a truck accident in
January 2019, many people were killed as a truck conveying bags of rice crushed
many to death in Iworoko, Ekiti State.In another accident on the 18th
September 2018 Eighteen people were reportedly killed in an early morning road
crash in Awo community in Irepodun/Ifelodun LGA of Ekiti State.
There has been a major problem of the cardinal factors responsible for road accidents in Ekiti. Another problem is to know if accidents in Ekiti state are related to sex, age and educational background of road users. There is also confusion as to the major causes of road accidents in Nigeria. The above problems have been our chief motivators in undertaking this statistical research work.

The above problems have been our chief motivators in undertaking this statistical research work.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF
THE STUDY
This study is aimed at establishing the following objectives:
1.
To know if road accidents in Ekiti State are gender
based, that is, do female road users fall victim of road accidents than their
male counterparts
2.
To equally know if road accidents in Ekiti are
age based.
3.
To ascertain if there is a statistically
significant relationship between educational background and road accidents in
Ekiti State.
4.
To know if record of road accidents in Ekiti has
increased or not.
5.
To educate Ekiti State residents and those interested
in this study on the outcome of our research
1.4 RESEARCH
QUESTIONS:
For
the successful completion of the study, the following research hypotheses were
formulated by the researcher;
1. Is
there any significant relationship between educational background and road
accident in Ekiti state?
2. Does
road accident in Ekiti state base on age?
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
One major significance of this study is to educate millions
of Nigerians Ekiti state residents in particular on the main causes of road accidents and ways to prevent
or reduce them on our roads. Another significance of this study is to know if
the number of road accidents has increased overtime. Thirdly, to know if the
reported number of road accidents in Ekiti State is gender based and also to
know if there is a relationship between educational background and road
accidents in Ekiti State Nigeria.
1.6 SCOPE AND
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
For the purpose of this study
as the topic depicts, the scope of the essay will be focused on the statistical
analysis on the causes of road accidents in Nigeria. To know the relationship
between bio- data factors and road accidents in Ekiti, that is, knowing if
there is a relationship between age, educational background and gender on road
accidents in the State. It is necessary to mention some of the
limitation of this research work. One of the major limitations is in the
getting relevant educational materials used in the research work. Another
limitation of this research work is the difficulty in obtaining relevant
information in that a few of our values were missing but these missing values
were not statistically significant enough to be noticed.It is hoped that
despite this limitation, the study would still be useful to the Ekiti State
Government and Ekiti state residents. Nigerians, organizations etc.
1.7 DEFINITION OF
TERMS
Accident: an unpleasant event especially in a
vehicle that happens unexpectedly and causes injury or damage
Road accident: a traffic accident involving
vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists.

REVIEW
OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter
reviews the literature on the impact of bad debt in commercial bank lending in
Nigeria. It discusses issues arising from the topic of interest as viewed from
different perspectives, with a view of giving a theoretical and empirical
foundation to the study.
2.2
OVERVIEW AND HISTORY OF EKITI STATE
Ekiti State is in
Southwest region of Nigeria, declared a state on 1 October 1996 alongside five other states
in the country by the then military government under head of state,
General Sani
Abacha. As one of the newest states of the
Nigerian federation, it was carved out of the territory of old Ondo State, and covers the former 12 local government areas that made up the
Ekiti Zone of old Ondo State. On creation, it had 16 Local Government Areas (LGAs), having had an additional four carved out of the old
ones. Ekiti State is one of the 36 states (Inc. Federal Capital Territory (Nigeria)) that constitute Nigeria.
The
State is mainly an upland zone, rising over 250 meters above sea level. It lies
on an area underlain by metamorphic rock. It is generally an undulating part of the country with a
characteristic landscape that consists of old plains broken by step-sided
out-crops that may occur singularly or in groups or ridges. Such rocks
out-crops exist mainly at Aramoko, Efon-Alaiye, Ikere-Ekiti, Igbara-odo- ekiti and Okemesi-Ekiti. The State is dotted with rugged hills, notable ones being Ikere-Ekiti Hills in the south, Efon-Alaiye Hills on the western boundary
and Ado-Ekiti Hills in the center. Due to increase in economic activities
in the state there is a need to assess road accidents in the state.
2.3
AN OVERVIEW OF THE FEDERAL ROAD SAFETY COMMISSION
The
Federal Road Safety commission (FRSC) is a government agent with statutory
responsibility for road safety administration in Nigeria. It was established in
1988. the federal road safety corps (FRSC) operates in all Nigerian states as
well as the federal capital territory (FCT) A corps marshal of the FRSC Osita
Chidoka (2008) said that 18300 road accidents have claimed 51251 persons
injured in Nigeria in the past three years. He further explained errant
petroleum tankers drivers were responsible for most of the accident in Nigeria
he said that in the first three months of the year 2007, 2119 accidents
involving tankers drivers claimed 301 lives meanwhile; one analyst has said the
figure of fatalities by the police is a gross under – estimation of the death
resulting from accident. Adegbenro (2009) studied the road accidents trends in
Nigeria between the period of 1960 and 1989 his study reveals a sharp increase
in fatal accident occurrence. Between 1960 and 1969 it was observed that over
18000 death occur as a result of road accidents by the third decade (1980 –
1989) this figure had increase to about five times i.e. more than 9200 death.
According to Eke (2001) it has however been observed that most of the factors involving
in road accidents are created and control by man. Man initiated the process
that may yield a road accident by traveling, he or she may travel as a
pedestrian as a passenger in a vehicle or as the operator of the vehicle. Odero
(1998) added that most vehicle operator also fail to ensure the road worthiness
of their vehicle before they hit the highway which contributes majorly to road
accidents in Nigeria. Occasionally, the vehicle operator fails to adhere to
safety regulation for instance, fastening the seatbelt and ensuring safe
condition of the vehicles. It has also been observed that during the festival
periods and holidays, there are always more vehicles on the Nigeria highways
and road, people tend to be rushing to meet certain commitment or to arrive at
their destination earlier consequently, there are more accident during these
periods than other time.
2.4 MOST ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A WHOLE LOT OF
FACTORS. PROMINENT AMONG THEM ARE AS LISTED BELOW:
1.Over-Speeding: Sometimes
may be due to greediness or the tendency to drive as many turns as possible
always want to be at the head of others, without considering the
consequences. By so doing them neglect road signs warnings and road
traffic regulations and laws. Thus, the risk of some dangerous.
2. Drugs/Alcohol: The side effects of drugs or alcohol our body cannot be
over emphasized. These cause drowsiness and finally sleep when
during. They lead to wrong calculations and loss of regard to lives of
human beings and property of such driver concerned. Some causes excessive
alertness and nervousness, loss of control and finally a breakdown of the body
system of such person involved.
3. Roads (Road Accidents Immune Delusion
Syndrome): Some drivers because they have driven a
particular vehicle for years, taxi develop the feeling that they have overmastered
the vehicle and also fully experienced do believe that they cannot be involved
in road traffic accident, others or other drivers because of their belief
either a shrine, ring, talisman, etc. do believe that they cannot be involved
and/or die in road accident, they drive without regard to road traffic
regulations and other road users.
4. The Road: The construction of the road matters a lot. Roads
with multiple bands experience many accidents. Poorly constructed road
witnesses many accidents e.g. presence of informal bumps, very narrow
roads. Roads that are poorly maintained cause a lot of accidents.
The absence of road signs also contributes to road accidents e.g. to show
construction sites, narrow bridges, cross roads, bumps, “T” junction etc.
5. Negligence of road Signs: Most
Nigeria drivers are so illiterate that they cannot read road signs and as such
endanger their lives and the lives of others and property.
6. Aggression: This is psychological. Also result of or may be
due to lack of sleep in the previous night due to one problem or the
other. The driver then wakes up annoyed and aggressive. He jumps
into the vehicle without the morning drills, quarrels with the vehicle passengers,
co-drivers and road traffic officers etc. thus the risk of accident victimized
and even others.
7. The Weather: This comprises the rain and the sun and their effects on
the roads. The rains wet the roads and make them slippery therefore,
tyres treads loose grip of the roads and render braking almost impossible as
and when desired. The sun heats up the tar on the road which in tam heats
up the tyres. When this happens, weak tyres tend to burst very
easily. Both conditions cause accidents on our road if not observed.
8. Topography: This includes hilly, rocky forest and savanna areas.
Areas where the roads run in between hills particularly with dealing rock
constitute a lot danger to road users. Where such exits, viewing distance
are shortened, the rocks can fall into the road at any time and cause
accidents. Likewise, where roads run across forests, trees, and/or their
branches, many falls into the road and where this is not noticed in a good
time, they can cause serious accidents. Animal shiving is the forests can
cross the roads at any time while grazing animals common in the savanna
requires can also cause accidents.
9. Carelessness of Pedestrians: The
other road user that is seen as the commonest – the pedestrian(s) may out of
illiteracy and inexperience in using the road disobey the road traffic sign by
crossing when it is not due for him or her to do so. Or cross the busy
road without looking left or tight as to see when the road is free for
crossing.
10. Foods: It takes many drivers
time to understand the effect of some foods on their body. Most eat one
type of food because others do. They fail to understand that, while some
people or such people will be active after a heavy food, others or themselves
imitating feel dull and will be sleeping after such a heavy food and thus,
endangering their lives and property while driving.
2.5 STATUTORY
FUNCTIONS OF FRSC
The functions of the commission include:
1)
Making the high way safer for motorist and other road
users.
2)
Recommending work and devices designed to eliminate or
minimize accidents on the high way and advising the government on what to do
about road problem in Nigeria.
3)
Educating motorist and members of the public on the
importance of discipline on the road.
4)
Designing and production of drivers’ license and plate
numbers to be used by various road users.
5)

accident, conduct researches into the causes of the accident and method of
preventing them and putting into use suchfinding.
6)
Determining speed limit for all road users.
7)
Providing roadside and mobile clinics for the treatment
of accident victims free of charge.
In exercising these functions, the commission shall have the
power to arrest and prosecute persons reasonably suspected of having committed
any traffic offences. Federal Road Safety Commission of Nigeria is a body that
aims at encouraging good driving habits and help reduce and limit the impact of
Road traffic accidents.
CHAPTER THREE
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1
Research design
The
researcher used descriptive research survey design in building up this project
work.The choice of this research design was considered appropriate because of
its advantages of identifying attributes of a large population from a group of
individuals. The design was suitable for the study as the study sought to a
statistical analysis of road accidents in Ekiti State.
3.2 Sources
of data collection
Data were collected from:
Primary
source:
These are materials of statistical investigation which were
collected by the research for a particular purpose. They can be obtained
through a survey, observation questionnaire or as experiment; the researcher
has adopted the questionnaire method for this study.
3.3
Population of the study
Population of a study is a group of persons or aggregate items,
things the researcher is interested in getting information on the study a
statistical analysis of road accidents in Nigeria.
200 staff of federal road safety commission in Akwa Ibom State was selected
randomly by the researcher as the population of the study.
3.4
Sample and sampling procedure
Sample
is the set people or items which constitute part of a given population
sampling. Due to large size of the target population, the researcher used the
Taro Yamani formula to arrive at the sample population of the study.
1+N (e) 2
1+200(0.05)2
1+200(0.0025)
1+0.5 =
1.5 = 133.
3.5 Instrument
for data collection
The major research instrument used is the questionnaires. This was
appropriately moderated. The secretaries were administered with the
questionnaires to complete, with or without disclosing their identities. The
questionnaire was designed to obtain sufficient and relevant information from
the respondents. The primary data contained information extracted from the
questionnaires in which the respondents were required to give specific answer
to a question by ticking in front of an appropriate answer and administered the
same on staff of the two organizations: The questionnaires contained structured
questions which were divided into sections A and B.
3.6
Validation of the research instrument
The questionnaire used as the research instrument was subjected to
face its validation. This research instrument (questionnaire) adopted was
adequately checked and validated by the supervisor his contributions and corrections
were included into the final draft of the research instrument used.
3.7 Method of data analysis
The data collected was not an end in itself but it served as a
means to an end. The end being the use of the required data to understand the
various situations it is with a view to making valuable recommendations and
contributions. To this end, the data collected has to be analysis for any
meaningful interpretation to come out with some results. It is for this reason
that the following methods were adopted in the research project for the
analysis of the data collected. For a comprehensive analysis of data collected,
emphasis was laid on the use of absolute numbers frequencies of responses and percentages.
Answers to the research questions were provided through the comparison of the
percentage of workers response to each statement in the questionnaire related
to any specified question being considered.
Frequency in this study refers to the arrangement of responses in
order of magnitude or occurrence while percentage refers to the arrangements of
the responses in order of their proportion. The simple percentage method is
believed to be straight forward easy to interpret and understand method.
The researcher therefore chooses the simple percentage as the
method to use.

CHAPTER FIVE
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATION
5.1 Summary
This study was on a statistical analysis of road accidents in
Ekiti State Nigeria. Five objectives were raised which included: To know if
road accidents in Nigeria are gender based, that is, do female road users fall
victim of road accidents than their male counterparts, to equally know if road
accidents in Nigeria are age based, to ascertain if there is a statistical
significant relationship between educational background and road accidents in
Nigeria, to know if record of road accidents in Nigeria has increased or not,
to educate Nigerians and those interested in this study on the outcome of our
research. In line with these
objectives, two research hypotheses were formulated and two null hypotheses
were posited. The total population for the study is 200 staff of federal road
safety commission in Ekiti State. The researcher used questionnaires as the
instrument for the data collection. Descriptive Survey research design was
adopted for this study. A total of 133 respondents made up corps commanders,
route commanders, senior officers and junior officerswere used for the study.
The data collected were presented in tables and analyzed using simple
percentages and frequencies
5.2 Conclusion
Analysis of qualitative data
gathered during the present study summarizes two principle factors viz. human
and environment as joint significant contributor to the occurrence of road
accident in Nigeria. Human characteristics (rush and negligence) make the
highest contribution to the road traffic accidents in the study area. The
environmental factors are related to bad weather and poor road condition. In
the present study, the highest number of accidents was observed in the peak
rainy season during the months of July - September and the maximum number of
victims were also highest compared to other seasons of the year.
5.3 Recommendation
On
the basis of the findings obtained from this research, the following are
recommended,
1. The Ekiti State Government should introduce
road education in its basic system of education.
2. The Ekiti State Government should pay more
attention to the maintenance of high ways and roads in general for safe use of
the citizens.
3.
Personnel in charge of road should enforce the use of seatbelts by all
motorists.
4.
Driving license should be issued under strict compliance with the government
regulations.
5. Motor Vehicles should be inspected to
ensure their road worthiness before registration
