ABSTRACT

The paper examined the spatial variation of road traffic accident casualties in Nigeria with a view to suggesting measures to reduce the scourge. The data used for the study included the total number of deaths and number of injuries from road traffic accident in Nigeria for the period 2004 to 2009. These were collected from the Nigerian Police Force Headquarters and the Federal Road Safety Commission. Data were also collected from relevant federal and state ministries. The results of the analysed data were then shown in map form to depict the spatial variation of road traffic accident casualties across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. Multiple regression method was then used to model the spatial pattern of road accident Casualties in Nigeria for the study period. The result showed that spatial variation exists in the incident of road traffic accident in Nigeria. The paper finally made recommendations to reduce the carnage on Nigerian roads.
