Story from Kasim Isa Muhammad
Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed of Bauchi State has commissioned the distribution of 30 Toyota Hiace buses through the Yankari Transportation Services as part of his administration’s efforts to alleviate the impact of fuel subsidy removal.
The provision aims to ease the transportation of citizens, particularly students of higher institutions, and boost the state’s economy.
Governor Mohammed highlighted that the operation and services of the buses would be subsidized to combat poverty and provide an affordable means of transportation for the people.
He said, “This initiative is expected to create job opportunities and promote self-reliance among the citizens. And we acknowledged the contributions of traditional institutions in rebuilding both rural and urban areas of the state.”
He further revealed plans to provide additional Keke-Napep and motorcycles for Achaba, as well as construct more roads to improve living conditions.
