Obaseki announces free bus service for Edo residents amid naira notes shortage
Godwin Obaseki, Edo governor, has directed that the state’s transport service should convey passengers free of charge following the cash scarcity.
There has been an outbreak of protests in Edo, among other states, as a result of the scarcity of naira notes.
In a statement posted on his Twitter page on Thursday, Obaseki said he hopes to – through the free bus charges – reduce the effect of the cash crunch on Edo residents.
“I have directed that beginning from today, Thursday, February 16, 2023, all Edo City Transport Service (ECTS) buses are to provide free services to passengers, as a means of reducing the effect of the cash crunch experienced by the people,” he tweeted.
“The directive is applicable to all routes and is effective till Monday, February 20, 2023, after which further announcement would be issued on the matter.
“The government calls on the people to remain calm and law-abiding and assures that normalcy will be restored shortly.”
