Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Road safety is a critical issue in Nigeria, where road accidents remain a significant cause of injury and death. Lafia North Local Government Area (LGA) in Nasarawa State, like many other regions in the country, faces challenges related to road safety. The increasing rate of road accidents, coupled with inadequate awareness campaigns, has raised concerns regarding the safety of commuters. Photography, with its ability to convey messages quickly and effectively, offers a powerful medium for raising awareness about road safety. By visually documenting traffic-related issues, road safety campaigns, and safety measures, photography can play a crucial role in educating the public, encouraging safe driving behaviors, and promoting road safety awareness. This study examines how photography can contribute to improving community awareness of road safety in Lafia North LGA, investigating its impact on behavior change and public engagement with road safety issues.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Despite various efforts by the government and non-governmental organizations to address road safety issues in Lafia North LGA, the region continues to experience high rates of road accidents, largely due to inadequate public awareness and education on road safety practices. While road safety awareness campaigns exist, the potential of photography as a tool for creating impactful and visually engaging campaigns has not been fully explored. Photography can enhance the effectiveness of these campaigns by visually capturing accidents, safe driving practices, and relevant road safety messages. However, its role in improving road safety awareness in Lafia North LGA remains underutilized. This study aims to assess how photography can enhance community awareness on road safety and promote behavior change.
