In a move aimed at easing the financial burden on travelers during the festive season, the Federal Government has released a list of 20 additional motor parks where commuters can benefit from a 50% discount on transport fares for return trips.
The announcement was made by Temitope Ajayi, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, via X (formerly Twitter) on Friday.
This initiative aligns with the government’s commitment to subsidize transport costs during the yuletide period.
