Tinubu Announces Major Transport Fare Cuts Across Nigeria

President Bola Tinubu celebrated reductions in transport fares across Nigeria, specifically noting decreases in Abuja, Enugu, and Borno. In Abuja, fares dropped from N1,500 to N500, while in Enugu, they fell from N4,000 to N1,600.

In Borno, fares were reported as low as N50. Tinubu attributed these reductions to investments in compressed natural gas (CNG), electric, and hybrid transportation, stating that these savings would allow commuters to allocate more funds to essential household expenses.

He emphasized his administration's commitment to expanding access to affordable transportation and implementing measures to mitigate the impact of rising fuel costs. Tinubu also addressed competing political proposals aimed at reducing the cost of living, urging Nigerians to consider the sustainability and funding of such plans.

He warned that deferring the costs of government policies would not eliminate financial obligations, which could ultimately affect Nigerians and future generations.
