iWalk is an organization that focuses on the health benefits of walking to school and the need for a safe road traffic environment for young pedestrians.  Nigeria participated in the international walk to school week for the first time in 2003. As the vast majority of Nigerian pupils already walk to school, the aim of participation was to rally for safer and improved streets, and by so doing draw the attention of the government agencies and individuals to the need for more stringent enforcement of existing road traffic regulations.
