The Road Safety Officers’ Wives Association (ROSOWA) has settled the medical bills of some road crash victims and donated relief materials to patients receiving treatment at a trauma centre in Abuja to alleviate their suffering.
Oyeyemi Ajayi reports that the gesture is part of activities marking the 2026 World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, with the theme, “A Light to Unite Us.”
President of ROSOWA, Dr Nafisat Shehu-Mohammed, urged motorists to avoid driving under the influence of alcohol, while emphasising the need for prompt medical attention for road crash victims rather than abandoning them at accident scenes.
She explained that the visit, which was replicated across the federation, was aimed at showing solidarity with victims of road crashes, particularly those undergoing treatment, as well as families who have lost loved ones.
