Abuja residents lament high transport fares
Many residents of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, have decried increased transport fares, which have limited their movement around the city centre.
They told the News Agency of Nigeria that one of the greatest challenges they encountered was the non availability of fuel in spite of its increased cost.
According to them, fuel is not readily available at many filling stations per time, leading to artificial scarcity and panic, thus the increasing cost of transportation.
They, therefore, reiterated their appeal to the Federal Government and other authorities to urgently intervene in the situation as Nigerians were suffering and getting very desperate.
A civil servant, Mrs Rebecca Solomon, appealed to the Federal Government to redeem its promise of providing Compressed Natural Gas buses for commuters.
According to Solomon, these vehicles, when operational, will greatly help in ameliorating the high cost of transportation which is affecting all sectors.
“Nigerians were happy when President Bola Tinubu announced the provision of buses to ameliorate the sufferings of Nigerians.
