Yuletide: FG commences 50 percent discount on road fares
Minister of Transportation Sa’id Alkali has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the transport union to commence a 50 percent discount on road fares during the 2024 yuletide season.
The agreement followed directives by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that passengers should board buses to their destination for only 50 percent of the fares.
Permanent Secretary Adeleye Adeoye represented the Minister in signing the MoU between the Federal government and the leadership of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN).
He also signed the agreement with the Association of Luxurious Bus of Nigeria (ALBON) and God is Good Motors (GIGM) as part of the government’s efforts to offer transportation palliatives from Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Lagos (Oshodi) to other parts of Nigeria.
The Permanent Secretary stated that people going for celebrations of Christmas and New Year respectively can now have affordable transportation with the agreement.
Before this, the federal government also provided free train rides for passengers during the festive season.
