President Bola Tinubu has approved free train rides for Nigerians nationwide from December 20, 2024, to January 5, 2025.
The move is aimed at easing transportation costs during the festive season, Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris announced in Abuja.
Idris explained that this initiative is consistent with President Tinubu’s desire to cushion the effect of transportation costs, especially for vulnerable Nigerians.
“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,” Idris said.
