This is a deceptive and flawed statistics.
Where is Lagos?
Lagos has the highest fare Intracity within Nigeria and even worldwide Viz a viz earning power of it's inhabitants.
Reason?Lagos is the smallest state per landmass,but a journey from say Ikorodu to Lagos,a mere 30mins without traffic cost up to 400-500.
Same journey in Abia or Kebbi won't cost you more than 200.
Oshodi to mile 2 about 250 for a mere 30km or so trip.
When doing this kind of stats,distance and landmass should be the parameters and not just a general intracity cost.

For Abia the bus fare is very low not because the drivers want it so but because na Keke NAPEP full everywhere, the buses are scarce for intercity transport because there are few good roads to ply.

The buses are used for Charter to attend weddings or burial ceremonies or interstate transport.
The driver after arriving the venue will spend the day eating and drinking whatever they present to the guests and even collect souvenir joingrin grin

Are you sure? Things are relatively cheap in Abia but not how you make it seem.

Was there on a field trip some years ago and I knew how much we were charged per person.

From Aba to Umuahia, a journey of 30munutes without traffic, police and road safety costs between 400 to 500.
You think those in Abia don't buy fuel at 145 or even more of recent.?
