This follows the removal of gasoline subsidies in Nigeria.
By Omotayo Olutekunbi
Nigerian pop artist Joeboy has pledged to provide free bus trips to Lagos residents in the wake of the recent increase in transportation rates.
On Tuesday, June 13, 2023, the singer, whose true name is Joseph Akinwale, came to Twitter to announce his intentions with his fans and followers.
According to the artist, the free bus service would run on prominent routes in Lagos from Wednesday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The artist delivered his word today, June 14, 2023, when a fan on the third mainland bridge saw one of his buses.
The program intends to assist persons encountering financial difficulties due to eliminating gasoline subsidies.
Joeboy stated, “I know the fuel subsidy p is hard on everyone right now so here’s my little way of helping. For the next 3 days, there will be FREE Body & Soul buses along the following routes between 8 am and 5 pm. Enjoy the ride, Love you guys❤”
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s recent elimination of the gasoline subsidy has resulted in a rise in fuel prices, resulting in higher transportation expenses and difficulties for Nigerians.
Given these conditions, Joeboy’s compassionate gesture and the fact that he maintained his word have relieved the tension of many Lagosians who struggle with everyday transportation.
