    This study investigated the prevalence of road accident in Osun State from 1999-2019. It appraised the adult teaching methods adopted by FRSC members in the community education programmes and assessed the level of community members’ participation in community education. It also examined the factors which determined community participation in community education projects between 2010 and 2019. These were with a view to assessing the relevance and adequacy of the FRSC community education projects in the State. The survey design was adopted for the study. The population comprised FRSC officials and community members in Osun State. The sample for this study consisted of 60 respondents including 30 Osun State FRSC officials purposively selected from the FRSC State Secretariat and 30 community members consisting of religions/traditional and association leaders who were selected using multi-stage sampling techniques. Two questionnaires and one interview guide were used to collect data: The questionnaires termed “Osun FRSC Officials” Questionnaire on Community Education” (OFOQCE) and “Community Development Group Questionnaire on Community Education” (CDGQ) were used. Also an in-depth interview guide titled “Community Members’ Interview on FRSC in Community Education Programme. (CMINCEP) was used” Data collected were analysed using percentages and inferential statistics while content analysis was used to analyse the responses from the qualitative interviews. The results showed that there was high prevalence of road accidents in the study area as there were 364 road accidents involving 2,265 people in year 2019. The results also showed that drama method 41.66%, public campaign and rally 33.33%, radio and television 14.58%, jingles and sensitization 4.18%, workshop and seminar methods 6.25% were employed by the FRSC in community and road safety education programme. The study revealed that 45.71% of the total respondents fully participated in the community education programme. Meanwhile, 40% of the respondents somewhat participated in the community education programme while 14% of the total respondents did not participate at all. The findings also revealed that unemployment, poverty, illiteracy and need for skill acquisition hindered community members’ participation in FRSC’s education programme. The study concluded that the community education projects provided by FRSC were relevant and adequate as they met the needs of the various community members as attested to by the level of their participation in the projects.
