Ogun set for mass transit scheme, receives new ICT-enabled buses

The Ogun State Government says it has taken delivery of high-capacity new buses equipped with modern technological capabilities.
The new buses which were the first batch, are designed to have better capacity and reliability than a conventional bus system with a view to providing commuters a safe, affordable, fast, and pleasurable experience on the roads, it stated.
State Commissioner for Transportation, Gbenga Dairo, said that it was a testimony to the commitment and readiness of the Dapo Abiodun-led administration to strengthen the local economy through transport development.
This, he added, would lead to creation of jobs along the value chain of the transportation system.
The commissioner said the bus mass transit scheme was part of the government’s deliberate efforts at modernising and promoting efficiency in the transport sector, as contained in its urban renewal programme.
Dairo stated, “This is a commendable fulfilment of a promise made two weeks ago by the governor, Dapo Abiodun. It is also cheering news for the good people of Ogun State as regards commencement of bus mass transit scheme in the state”.
“The scheme, it is important to note, is designed to make transportation more accessible, affordable and safe with more jobs being created and the state economy getting a boost without throwing people out of jobs.”
