Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has urged transport unions to halt arbitrary fare increases that are making life uncomfortable for residents. The call was made in a statement that highlighted the growing frustration among commuters over rising transport costs.
Abiodun said that the frequent and unregulated hikes in fares are a burden on everyday citizens, particularly those who rely on public transport for work and education. He appealed to the unions to adopt a more transparent and fair pricing system.
Ogun State, located in southwestern Nigeria, has seen a rise in transport expenses across the region, prompting the governor’s intervention. He emphasized that the state’s economic stability depends on affordable mobility for its people.
Transport unions have yet to respond to the governor’s plea, and it remains unclear whether any immediate changes will be implemented. The issue continues to be a point of concern for residents and local businesses alike.
