Don’t punish commuters with arbitrary fare hikes – Abiodun warns Ogun transport unions

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has cautioned transport unions in the region against imposing arbitrary fare increases, urging them to prioritize the well-being of commuters. At a rally in Abeokuta, during which nine transport unions endorsed his APC governorship candidate Senator Solomon Adeola, Abiodun emphasized the investments his administration has made in the state's infrastructure.

He highlighted the construction or reconstruction of over 1,700 kilometers of roads, the establishment of a new airport, and the implementation of a multimodal transport master plan, all aimed at fostering a thriving transportation sector. Abiodun urged the operators to use their sector for the benefit of the citizens, rather than allowing them to suffer through arbitrary fare hikes.
