The Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, yesterday directed the immediate deployment of buses to different parts of the metropolis to ease commuters’ movement.

This is just as transporters hike transport fares astronomically in Ilorin, the state capital, as a route that usually costs commuters N500 now goes for N1,500.

Most residents of the Ilorin metropolis were stranded yesterday as the tricycle motor operators prevented their members from working in protest of the fuel price hikes.

LEADERSHIP reports that most filling stations in Ilorin were dispensing fuel at N1M,200 per litre.
But in a swift reaction, the governor ordered the rollout of buses to transport commuters free of charge.
The governor’s directive was in a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye.

“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 statement said.

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.
