LAGOS State Governor, Babajide SANWO-OLU on Monday, July 31, 2023 declared bumper harvests of palliatives for the state civil servants and residents in Lagos.
His message via his official Twitter Page monitored by SOJ WORLDWIDE stated that transport and ferry fares have been reduced by 50% and mass transit will be made more available to Civil Servants in the State. He said the state government will make arrangements with the NURTW management for reduction of transport fares by 25% for the general public.
“Dear Lagosians,
I understand the concerns and challenges faced by our citizens during these growth and transformational times. In response to the effects of the fuel subsidy removal, I’m introducing a series of measures for economic and humanitarian relief.
From Wednesday, we’re implementing a 50% fare reduction on all Lagos Buses, easing the burden on commuters across the city. In collaboration with the bus unions, 25% off all yellow buses (danfo) fares will be communicated officially by the unions.
Additionally, I’m pleased to announce a 50% fare reduction on all LagFerry routes. This will provide more accessible and affordable transportation options for our residents. Recognizing the importance of affordable healthcare, I’m directing our General Hospitals to offer free ante-natal services and delivery; normal and C-section services.
This is ensuring the health of our families are taken care of without worrying about financial constraints. Our dedicated Lagos State Workers are vital to our progress as a state.
To support you during this transition, we’re expanding the fleet of Staff Buses for our public service employees. Your well-being is top priority.
Standing in solidarity with the vulnerable in our society, we’re providing direct food relief to the vulnerable through various stakeholders – CDAs, Religious Groups, etc. Let’s come together as one family during these times of change.
