To further cushion the unintended negative effects of federal government economic policies, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced a 25 percent slash in transport fares for government-owned transport system.
Sanwo-Olu announced during a live media chat, ‘Sanwo Speaks’ on Thursday as monitored by Theliberationnews.
He also announced that civil servants from levels 1–14 will begin to work three days a week.
The governor noted that the forum was intended to keep residents abreast of strategic steps being taken to reduce the economic burden on Lagosians.
He said workers in the teaching sector will, however, maintain the five-day-a-week work schedule, but the government will ensure additional transportation support for them.
