On Monday, the Nigerian government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu announced that a total of 128 individuals traveling from Abuja to various Northern destinations have availed themselves of a 50% discount on their transport fares.

The Federal Ministry of Transportation, in a statement signed by its Director of Press and Public Relations, reported that its Situation Room Monitoring Team observed this development.

The statement highlighted that drivers operating on inter-state routes have been adhering to the discounted fares as per President Tinubu’s directive.

Specifically, travelers departing from Abuja and heading to destinations in the North, such as Gombe, Bauchi, Yola, and Maiduguri, have been transported to their destinations at only half the regular transport fares for each leg of their journey.

The statement said, “As ALBON co-opts NURTW, implementing 50% discount on transport fares at yuletide gets a boost, 128 Nigerians enjoy Tinubu’s Renewed Hope discount on Christmas Day.

“Implementing the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s for 50% discount on transport fares for Nigerians during the yuletide got a serious boost especially as one hundred and twenty-eight travellers from Abuja, who were bound for destinations in the North – Gombe, Bauchi, Yola and Maiduguri were freighted to their destinations paying only half of the transport fares charged for each of their destinations, as monitored by Federal Ministry of Transportation Situation Room Monitoring Team on Christmas Day.

“Thanks to the proactive efforts of the Association of Luxury Bus Owners, travellers were able to enjoy a significant reduction in their transportation costs, with Clement Okuefuna overseeing the disbursement of the reimbursements at the Area 1 motor park in Abuja.

“Notably, ALBON’s collaboration with the National Union of Road Transport Workers has effectively ensured that passengers are promptly refunded half of their fare payments upon boarding designated vehicles, thereby making the President’s transport palliative a reality.”

“The last 16-seater passenger bus which loaded, got its passenger refunded half of the transport fares paid back to them and heading for Bauchi and Maiduguri rounded off the operation at Area 1 Motor Park, Abuja,” the statement added.

SaharaReporters had reported that President Tinubu approved a 50 percent reduction in the prices of inter-state transport fares for Nigerians travelling during the Yuletide from December 21, 2023, to January 4, 2024.

It also reported that the President approved free rides for commuters on all train services within the period.

The Minister of Solid Minerals Development and Chairman of the inter-ministerial committee on presidential intervention, Dele Alake, had announced the administration’s gesture to State House Correspondents at the Aso Rock Villa.

Media propaganda, lies & deceit will take the ELM nowhere

Out of the 128, 28 of them are APC online miscreants we have here.

128 people out of the thousands that traveled

Abeg move this thing to the joke section. Countries not even as rich as Nigeria are enjoying while the clowns who run the show here have reduced the people to beggars.

Don't even bring up the issue of population because it will make you look stupid.

Just 128?
Wow, just WOW!!!

that's all I got to say to this APC government

So 128 persons traveling to the NORTH have benefitted despite Christmas travel this period being to the southern part of the country

Thank God we didn't hear thousands of Nigerians or else it would have been like subsidy

Out of the 128, 28 of them are APC online miscreants we have here while the rest are owomida boys and buhari's cows.

128 out of 1,000,000

Chai! Jagaban for life

Why are they refusing to state what amounts to 50% discount?

Hope we won't later hear how 80bn was used to subsidise transport for Nigerians...

These set of bandits don't give a damn!!

Bandits running this country

128 people out of the millions that traveled. That means getting the discount is even bigger than winning the lottery.

Lol. Who wants to be bombed and kidnapped?

128 people out of millions of Nigerian travellers and they expect us to clap for them? This apc government wont just stop amazing me.

Right from the beginning of this travel subsidy story I perceived nothing more than lies

And some. idiots who are going.to the southeast for the Christmas holiday...

Amy one of them.fro..the southeast who.has benefitted from.the 50 per cent and come to social. media to still abuse President Bola.Tinubu...may the road that he or she will ply back.to.his destination fight with him....may he or she never escape the wrath of Ogun god on his way back to home...may trouble and shame never depart from his or her lineage....

Eni kuure

Ode read the news and stop having a shrinked prick over Igbo affairs

128 persons? It is not up to 000001% of the population.
What an achievement!
This is an insult.

Wow!!
When was the last time APC government spoke the truth? This is an improvement. 128 is believable.

128 passangers as the last count have been freighted from Abuja to four different states in the north. This was just the figures from the depature parks in Abuja out of the 36 states in the country. Definately, each state would have its own records.

It's like the people in charge are God-fearing, if not we should be seeing figures ranging from 10,000 and 40,000.
