You must have heard that President Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday, announced waivers on transport fares for interstate road travellers during Christmas and New Year.
However, it is important to know that there are certain companies participating in the price reduction to avoid facing any form of embarrassment.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has disclosed the list of companies participating in the Federal Government’s plan to reduce the transportation cost for Nigerians during the Yuletide.
Free Rides
Tinubu said the federal government will bear 50 percent of the transport fares for interstate road travellers across the country during Yuletide.
The President added that train rides will be free nationwide from December 21, 2023, to January 4, 2024.
In a post on his X handle on Thursday, Onanuga named five transportation companies as those that will be partnering with the FG to execute the scheme.
Participating Companies
He said the transportation companies include, GIG (God is Good), Chisco Transport, Young Shall Grow, God Bless Ezenwata, and Area Motor.
He wrote, “Participating companies in the FG’s plan to reduce the transport burden of travelling 5 million Nigerians:
