AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the Kwara State Governor, has directed the immediate deployment of buses to different parts of the metropolis to ease the movement of commuters.
This is in an attempt to assuage the ease movement of the people of the state due to the hike in the price of the petrol.
The directive was contained in a statement signed and made available to the newsmen by Mallam Rafiu Ajakaye, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor.
The statement reads, “The buses are to take people to the most central destinations free of charge. We hope that persons attending the SUBEB job placement interviews would find this helpful, particularly in the metropolis.”
The Governor also appealed to transporters and members of the public to exercise patience over the new fuel price hike, saying different government stakeholders are reviewing the situation with public good as a top priority.
“The inconveniences are regretted, and we are confident that things will ease as soon as possible,” it added.
