Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has approved the deployment of government buses to support the movement of students and workers in public tertiary institutions within Ilorin, the state capital, and its environs.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, on Sunday, June 11.
Ajakaye stated: “From Wednesday, June 14, some large buses will be deployed to transport students of public tertiary institutions within the metropolis, including those going to the Kwara State University campus at Malete.

“Further details will be released by the coordinating Ministries, Agencies and Departments (MDAs).
“The state government will continue to offer immediate support for the Kwara public as Nigeria permanently transitions to the post-fuel subsidy regime and different steps are taken to bring more ease to the people while growing the economy in a sustainable way,”
The bus palliative for the students covering the metropolis is the second phase in the measures by the Kwara State Government to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal.
The state government had earlier reduced workdays for civil servants from five to three every week.
