“The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Transportation, will be working with transporters, road transport unions, the Nigerian Railway Corporation to seamlessly deliver on this special presidential initiative.”
He reassured the public that the Federal Government, in collaboration with transportation authorities and unions, is committed to ensuring the smooth implementation of this special initiative.
Furthermore, Alake emphasized that relevant stakeholders, including transport unions and the Nigerian Railway Corporation, have been actively involved and are well-prepared for the execution.
However, it is important to note that air travel is not part of this initiative. Alake clarified, “The initiative is for the masses. Air is luxury. The masses don’t use air transport. So they are our main target.”
