Don't Sanwo olu thinks reducing bus fares will compel people to giving up on the trekking commission they've embarked on and return to entering vehicles thereby returning traffic back on Lagos roads??

We can't have a Nigeria with able bodied people who are agile and are too lazy to trek angry

Good one.

People are not finding the economy easy at all.

This means a lot to low income earners,other state governor's are waiting for what happened in Adamawa to happen in their own states before they do the needful.

State governor's should also help in facilitating the conversion of car's to CNG in Nigeria, instead of giving out cash.

Poor palliative from the Lagos
government.



More kudos to Ogun state
government palliative measures.


The whole four Nigerias refineries put together, working at full capacity, refines only 465000 barrels of crude daily.

Only One Dangote Lagos refinery do 600,000 crude capacity.

God save the Queen!

So if the yellow buses are reducing their prices, would the government sell them fuel at cheaper rates?

Same was done some months ago during the elections. The planned NLC strike tomorrow has made this government scared. Must they wait for strikes to be announced before doing what is right?

Why the rush? Let the economy fix itself. Create enabling environment. Get rid of the parasites. Reduce irrelevant cost of governance. Tighten loop holes. We dont want to hear that this subsidy is removed in 3folds later on o

You remove subsidy on petrol so that you can start subsidizing blue and yellow buses! Recycling or what is that?
