Governor Ambode to reduce holdups with 50 BRT buses
The governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode, has found a solution to the terrible traffic situation and recent fuel price hike.
According to
This announcement was made by the managing director of Primero Transport Limited, Fola Tinubu.
Speaking to journalists, he also said there would be no increase in the fares, despite the fuel price hike.
“This magnanimous act has been undertaken by the governor to reduce the effect of the hike in fuel price on Lagosians in the hope that more people in Ikorodu and its environs will enjoy the BRT service while leaving their vehicles at home. This will go a long way in reducing traffic to the road users and waiting time at various terminals.
The multiplier effect of this kind of gesture put forward by the governor is the creation of more employment opportunities such as drivers, fleet officers, inspectors, mechanics, ticketers among others for the smooth running and operations of the business,” he said.
