To Enjoy 50% Fare Slash, Travellers Must Show Their PVC, Says NURTW by ijustdey(op): 10:45pm On Feb 21, 2019

The National Union of Road Transport Workers has said that though it promised a 50 per cent transport fare slash for those who might be travelling for the rescheduled elections, only travellers who have their Permanent Voter Cards to show will enjoy the benefit.

The NURTW Lagos State chairman, Tajudeen Agbede, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday that the directive was to cushion the effects of last weekend’s election postponement.

“Our members have been directed, especially those plying inter-state routes, to give a 50 per cent discount to those travelling out of Lagos for the elections,” Agbede said.

He spoke to NAN after the union’s State Executives Meeting.

However, he stated, “To enjoy the 50 per cent discount, a prospective traveller is expected to show his/her Permanent Voter Card to the driver before he/she would be allowed to enjoy the discount.

“This is the directive from the national headquarters of our union.

“It will be carried out in all inter-state parks in the country which is part of our contribution to the electoral process,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Arik Air has also reduced its flight fare to N16,000 to ensure that eligible voters travel to cast their votes.

Fair and thoughtful enough!
We are getting to that sane society gradually.
A society that cares about its citizens!

On a lighter mood,
If you don't have a PVC but want to use the election opportunity to go and do another kinda voting with your boo in another location, kindly hold your cheesy

transport fare!
Chikena!

Buhari must be voted out at all cost, I can't see why apc can't present another candidate and retire baba to the background. Atiku will teach them a lesson

Nobody is helping in transportation, but help reduce cost for voting. It's like having a rebate for students traveling but u have to show ur I.D. It is well recommend
