Abstract

The study examined the effect of Road Traffic Accident Injuries on Productivity in Nigeria with a view towards reducing the incidence of Road Traffic crashes and improving road safety in Nigeria. The data used included number of passengers who sustained injuries in road traffic accidents in Nigeria for 2007. Data were also acquired on productivity in the labour sector of the economy through the assessment of seven variables, manpower in parastatals; manpower in ministries; employment in crop farming, registered teachers, policemen in service, national unemployment and private farmers. Z-score analysis was used to depict the pattern of productivity in the labour sector over the 36 states including the federal capital in the country while the fatality index was used to show the pattern of road traffic injuries in the country for the study period. Multiple regression analysis was then used to assess the relationship between road traffic accident injuries and productivity in the country. The results show that a clear relationship exists between road traffic accident injuries and productivity in Nigeria. The study finally made some recommendations to improve road safety in the country.
