Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq has relaunched a free transportation initiative aimed at providing relief for residents.
In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on New Media, Olayinka Fafoluyi, the governor explained that this initiative is designed to cushion the impact of the economic reforms implemented by President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The governor declared free bus services for residents travelling between Post Office and destinations including Tanke, Unilorin, Oja, Eyenkorin, Amayo, Mandate, Oyun, UITH, and Okeose, among others.
Previously, fares for these routes from the Post Office, the main transit hub, ranged from N300 to N500. For example, the fare from the Post Office to Tanke-Unilorin was N500, while the fare for the route from Oyun to UITH-Okeose was set at N400 for students, staff, and the general public.
Governor Abdulrazaq has consistently demonstrated his commitment to providing free transportation for Kwara residents whenever necessary.

He recalled that during the fuel scarcity and currency swap initiated by former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, he similarly offered free transportation services to the public.
Since the federal government’s economic reforms began under President Tinubu last year, Governor Abdulrazaq said he had continued to provide subsidized and free transportation palliatives to help mitigate the resulting challenges faced by residents.
