Osun State has launched commuter buses that would transport state civil servants, students, and other citizens along a few designated routes.
This is one of the steps taken to lessen the impact of the gasoline subsidy termination.
At the official bus unveiling in Osogbo on Monday, Governor Ademola Adeleke, represented by Deputy Governor Kola Adewusi, announced that the buses would operate in two shifts: a morning shift from 6:45 am to 9 am and an afternoon shift from 3 pm to 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
In his words, “I assure residents of the state that their welfare remains paramount to the present administration. The administration will continue to embark on programmes and policies that will put smiles on the faces of the residents.
“I commend civil servants for their resilience and commitment to their duties despite the harsh economic realities. I assure them that this government will always prioritise their welfare.”
In his opening address, Commissioner for Transportation, Sesan Oyedele, while assuring residents of the state of more buses in the coming days, described the Adeleke government as a workers’ friendly one.
“Passengers will be charged a token fee on each drop for the running and maintenance of the buses,” Oyedele added.
