Nigeria’s New Road Safety Crackdown | Nigeria News

Nigeria’s Senate just passed a bold new traffic crackdown: a $50,000 fine for anyone selling, hawking, or preaching inside commercial vehicles — aimed squarely at keeping drivers focused. The amendment also ramps up penalties for refusing breath tests, drunk driving, speeding, and ignoring traffic lights — with fines jumping to $100,000 and jail terms up to two years. A total of 52 new offenses now carry stiffer punishments, all in a sweeping effort to make Nigerian roads safer for everyone.
