Passengers Fault FG's 50% Transport Subsidy Scheme in Four States

Passengers have criticized Nigeria's 50% transport subsidy scheme in four states, which ended on January 5, 2025. They accused the government, unions, and executors of the program for failing to deliver on its promises.

Passengers have expressed disappointment with the 50 per cent transport subsidy scheme implemented by the Federal Government, which ended on January 5, 2025. The scheme was part of a palliative measure aimed at alleviating the burden of transportation costs for commuters in four states. However, passengers have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction with the program, criticizing it as insufficient and failing to address the underlying issues. The criticism from passengers has added to growing tensions between the government and transport unions over the continuation of the subsidy scheme.
