To facilitate smooth holiday travel for citizens, President Bola Tinubu has granted approval for a 50% reduction in interstate transport fares and free train rides for Nigerians traveling between December 21, 2023, and January 4, 2024.

Dele Alake, Chairman of the inter-ministerial committee on presidential intervention, disclosed this announcement at the Aso Rock Villa.

The federal government, in collaboration with the Ministry of Transportation, will coordinate efforts with transporters, road transport unions, and the Nigerian Railway Corporation to ensure the successful implementation of this special presidential initiative.

He adds that air travel is not included in this initiative, as the focus is solely on benefiting the masses.

The Minister of Transportation clarified that the intervention specifically addresses luxurious buses operating on 22 designated routes during this period.
