As part of the measures to ease transportation costs for Nigerians, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has approved free train rides for all the citizens nationwide from December 20, 2024, to January 5, 2025.
This was made known by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, during a press briefing with the State House correspondents in Abuja.
Idris said: “As we did last year, there will be free train service to all Nigerians from December 20 up until January 5, free train service nationwide.
“This is consistent with the President’s desire to cushion the effect of transportation, especially to the most vulnerable Nigerians.
“Recall that this also happened in the last Christmas period and the Sallah period. And the President has also approved that this year.”
