Dear Lagosians,<\/p>\n
I understand the concerns and challenges faced by our citizens during these growth and transformational times. In response to the effects of the fuel subsidy removal, I’m introducing a series of measures for economic and humanitarian relief.<\/p>\n
From Wednesday, we’re implementing a 50% fare reduction on all Lagos Buses, easing the burden on commuters across the city. In collaboration with the bus unions, 25% off all yellow buses (danfo) fares will be communicated officially by the unions.<\/p>\n
Additionally, I’m pleased to announce a 50% fare reduction on all LagFerry routes. This will provide more accessible and affordable transportation options for our residents.<\/p>\n
Recognizing the importance of affordable healthcare, I’m directing our General Hospitals to offer free ante-natal services and delivery; normal and C-section services. This is ensuring the health of our families are taken care of without worrying about financial constraints.<\/p>\n
Our dedicated Lagos State Workers are vital to our progress as a state. To support you during this transition, we’re expanding the fleet of Staff Buses for our public service employees. Your well-being is top priority.<\/p>\n
Standing in solidarity with the vulnerable in our society, we’re providing direct food relief to the vulnerable through various stakeholders – CDAs, Religious Groups, etc.<\/p>\n
Let’s come together as one family during these times of change. I promise that these are only the first steps in our commitment to uplifting our people.<\/p>\n
Stay strong, Lagos. We\u2019ve got this.<\/p>\n
