The government of Ekiti State and the leaders of transport unions have agreed to effect significant reduction in intra and interstate transport fares with a view to making life more bearable for the people.

This agreement followed four days of negotiation and meetings between government representatives and leaders of transport unions, shortly after the State Government declared war against hike in the prices of goods and services in the State.

Governor Kayode Fayemi, after the Wednesday meeting at Jibowu Hall, Governor’s Office, Ado-Ekiti, commended the transport unions for acceding to the outcry of the people for a major reduction in transport fare.

The Governor, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Hon Biodun Omoleye, promised to support the transport unions with loans and reduction in the cost of auto spare parts.

Reiterating the commitment of his administration to alleviating poverty and making life comfortable for the people, Fayemi assured that his administration would continue to dialogue and negotiate with other critical stakeholders to ensure that there is downward review of prices of commodities and services in the State.

“The Commissioner for Commerce is listening and all our development agencies are also being advised to bring succour to the transport unions.

“Pls be assured that your request for support in procuring buses for mass transit is being looked into. We have also promised that essential spare parts would also be made available for your members.”

The Governor said all other stakeholders in the transport sector would be carried along on the new development.

Earlier, the State Chairman of Road Transport Employers’ Association of Nigerian (RTEAN), Ekiti State Chapter, Olanbiwonninu Rotimi who spoke on behalf of others announced that members of the union had agreed that some of the prices would be reverted to the old prices while some would be reviewed downwards.
