President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved free train rides across the country for Nigerians from December 20, 2024, to January 5, 2025, to ease transportation costs during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, made this announcement while addressing journalists after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting chaired by President Tinubu.
Idris emphasized that the initiative aims to cushion the economic burden on citizens, especially vulnerable groups, during the festive period. This move underscores the government’s commitment to supporting Nigerians amid rising living costs.
