50% transport discount: FG gives update on implementation

 


The Federal Government has disclosed that 128 Nigerians benefited from its 50 per cent discount on transport fares at the Yuletide.

 

The Director of Press and Public Relations at the Ministry of Transportation, Olujimi Oyetomi, disclosed this on Monday.

 

According to him, the Ministry’s Situation Room Monitoring Team observed that 128 individuals travelling from Abuja to destinations in the North, including Gombe, Bauchi, Yola, and Maiduguri, benefited from the discount on their transport fares on Christmas Day.

 

“Implementing the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for 50% discount on transport fares for Nigerians during the yuletide got a serious boost especially as one hundred and twenty-eight travellers from Abuja, who were bound for destinations in the North – Gombe, Bauchi, Yola and Maiduguri were taken to their destinations paying only half of the transport fares charged for each of their destinations, as monitored by Federal Ministry of Transportation Situation Room Monitoring Team on Christmas Day,” he said.

 

Recall that barely a week ago, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved a 50 per cent inter-state luxury bus discount.

 

Additionally, the government listed GIG (God is Good), Chisco Transport, Young Shall Grow, God Bless Ezenwata, and Area Motor as participating transportation companies.
