Governor Sanwo-Olu who disclosed this when he briefed journalists after the state’s Security Council meeting also said the state government had made arrangements with various unions of commercial transporters for a 25 percent discount as well.

He said the initiative was part of palliatives for Lagosians in the spirit of the season based on the hardship people were passing through, saying that people would begin to enjoy reduction of the new fares from Wednesday across the state.

The governor said more buses will be deployed to convey civil servants from their various offices to their residents, while the remaining will be added to the fleet of public transportation to aid the movement of residents.

As part of immediate intervention, the governor said discussion has been concluded with stakeholders to make foodstuffs, like rice, beans, gari, available to the vulnerable through civil society organisations, community development associations, local government areas, traditional and religious leaders, among others.

This will continue until we see the result of these interventions.”
