The proposed fifty percent interstate transport fare price slash by the Federal Government, initially planned to commence on December 20, 2024, may now begin on today , Tuesday December 24.

The slash is targeted at cushioning high transport costs during the Yuletide.

This gesture, according to the Director of Press and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Transportation, Olujimi Oyetomi, was part of a broader effort of President Bola Tinubu to provide transportation palliatives for Nigerians celebrating the Christmas and New Year.
