President Bola Tinubu has approved a 50 per cent reduction in land transportation fares from December 21 to January 4, 2024, across the country, to cover the Christmas and New Year celebrations.

The President has also approved zero fares for train transportation in all the states of the federation within the same period.

The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, disclosed this while briefing journalists at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said that all the logistics for the implementation have been worked out between the Minister of Transportation, the transport unions and luxury bus owners.

According to him, “This presidential initiative is to give succour to the masses.

“It is on record that the masses don’t patronise air travel. This programme is not beyond the affordability of the government.”
