The Federal Government has officially announced the involvement of five transport companies in the agreement for a 50 percent fare cut during the Christmas festival. President Bola Tinubu had earlier approved the price rebate to assist ordinary Nigerians traveling between December 21 and January 4, 2024, to reunite with their loved ones.<\/p>\n
Despite the initial announcement specifying that participating transport companies would operate luxury buses, a list published by the Special Adviser to the President on Communications and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, revealed that some companies with mini buses are also part of the initiative.<\/p>\n
The five transport companies included in the agreement are GIG (God is Good), Chisco Transport, Young Shall Grow, God Bless Ezenwata, and Area Motor. The 28 routes covered by the 50% fare subsidy include prominent destinations such as Lagos-Kano, Lagos-Abuja, Lagos-Kaduna-Zaria, Lagos-Jos, Lagos-Enugu, Lagos-Onitsha, Lagos-Owerri, Lagos-Aba, Lagos-Abakaliki, Lagos-Nsukka, Lagos-Uyo, Lagos-Port Harcourt, Onitsha-Kano, and Onitsha-Lagos.<\/p>\n
