President Bola Tinubu has authorized free train rides across the country from December 20, 2024, to January 5, 2025. This initiative aims to alleviate transportation costs during the Christmas and New Year festivities, according to the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, who spoke to reporters at the State House in Abuja.
Idris stated, “Similar to last year, we will provide free train services to all Nigerians starting December 20 and continuing until January 5.”
He added, “This initiative aligns with the President’s commitment to ease transportation burdens, particularly for the most vulnerable members of society. It is worth noting that this was also implemented during the previous Christmas and Sallah periods, and the President has reaffirmed this plan for this year.”
