ABSTRACT
This research study is focused on road safety information management system using Federal Road safety Commission, Ikot Ekpene as a case study. This study is aimed at designing a system that will provide better services to the public and users making the highway safe for motorists and other road users, creating a system where information and output report will be produced or made available much faster, more accurately and more detailed to the commission and the public by educating motorist and members of the public on the importance of discipline on the highway and designing a system that will maintaining the validity period for drivers’ licences which shall be three years subject to renewal at the expiration of the validity period as well as designing, registering and producing vehicle plate number. The significant of the study are to offers numerous values to the Federal Road Safety Commission and any organization that deals with offence and safety documentation data/information, and it will help to keep a comprehensive record of traffic/safety offence documented. The research methodology used is systematic methodology and the programming language used for the development of the system is Visual Basic.NET, and MS Access as database.

INTRODUCTION
- Introduction
This chapter introduces road safety information in Nigeria. It discusses about the problem statement, aim and objectives, significance of the study, scope of the study, organization of the study as well as definition of terms.
- Background of the Study
Prior to the establishment of Federal Road Safety Commission in 1988, there was no concrete and sustained policy action to address the carnage on Nigerian roads. Earlier attempts in this direction were limited to discrete and isolated attempts by some states of the Federation and individuals. The unpleasant trend in the nation’s road traffic system which resulted in upsurge in road traffic accidents made the Federal Government initiate a search for a credible and effective response to the challenge. In February 1988, the Federal Government established the Federal Road Safety Commission through Decree No.45 of the 1988 as amended by Decree 35 of 1992 referred to in the statue books as the FRSC Act cap 141 laws of the Federation of Nigeria (LFN). Passed by the National Assembly as Federal Road Safety Commission (establishment) Act 200. Around the world road traffic injuries are a major public health challenges that requires concerted efforts for effective and sustained prevention. An estimated 1.2million people are killed in road crashes every year and as many as 50million suffer injuries.
