This comprehensive dataset is valuable for analyzing trends and patterns in road safety across the country, helping to identify regions with higher accident incidences. # Methodology Methods of Data Collection: Data on number of Road Traffic Accident (RTA) was obtained from the Annual Abstract of statistics published by the National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria.
