Tinubu’s government announces fresh free train rides for all Nigerians
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led federal government has reminded Nigerians of the ongoing free train rides for all Nigerians who wish to travel during the festive season.
The reminder followed the earlier announcement made by the Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, during the last Federal Executive Council meeting.
The Minister had announced free train rides on all federal trains from 20 December to 5 January to help ease holiday transportation costs.
The minister explained that the free train ride initiative aligns with President Tinubu’s desire to cushion the impact of government policies on transportation costs, particularly for the most vulnerable Nigerians.
Although Mr. Idris did not specify how the government would fund the free service, it is expected to be welcomed by commuters who are grappling with high transport costs following the removal of a popular petrol subsidy last year.
Last year, the president also approved free train rides during the Christmas and Sallah periods.
