In a bid to alleviate the financial burden of transportation costs during the festive season, the Federal Government has chosen prominent transport companies to benefit from a 50 per cent transport subsidy. God is Good (GIG) Motors, Chisco Transport, Young Shall Grow Motors, God Bless Ezenwata, and Area Motors have been selected as beneficiaries of this initiative.

Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, disclosed this development on Thursday through his X handle, previously known as Twitter.

Onanuga also shared a list of selected routes that will be covered by this subsidy, including major routes such as Lagos-Kano, Lagos-Enugu, Lagos-Nsukka, Onitsha-Jos, Abuja-Sokoto, and 23 other routes designated by the government.

This announcement elicited a mixed reaction among users on social media. While some expressed doubts, others were optimistic and appreciative of the government’s support.

One user, CREDO, tweeted, “I hope those who will enjoy this benefit will come here and testify that they really did. Let me for once see what this government said and did.”

In response, another user, @Peter, expressed anticipation for the inclusion of airlines like Air Peace, NGEagle, and Green Africa on the subsidised list, suggesting that Nigerians would appreciate their services.

This subsidy initiative aims to provide relief to travellers during the festive period and facilitate more affordable transportation options across the designated routes.

Nairaland's server was taken down because I overlooked an abuse report that was originally sent on the 14th. After the takedown, I removed the offensive content.

The UI for bringing back the server didn't work so it took hours to get support on how to get that done. Minutes after the forum was brought back, they took the server down again with no warning.

I'm guessing that the content I removed was still cached on Cloudflare servers, so they could still see it. I have cleared the caches now, but they are not communicating. I hope they will communicate tomorrow.

If you have any ideas for working with abuse teams, please share. My track record is abysmal.

Why was Nairaland down, for long

SoNature:
I checked GIGM fares and noticed that nothing has changed yet. Meanwhile, these changes are supposed to commence today.

I don't understand why this government is always hasty in making announcements without doing their underground works.
