The Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, has just revealed a brand new fleet of 70 buses! These buses are meant to help civil servants get to work more easily in the state. The governor wants to make commuting less of a hassle for government employees and the general public.
The unveiling ceremony took place at the Borno Express terminus in Maiduguri. The new fleet of buses includes both standard-sized buses and larger ones that can fit more passengers. Each bus is equipped with modern amenities like air conditioning and comfortable seating, so everyone can have a pleasant commute.
During the unveiling, Governor Zulum explained that this initiative is part of the government’s efforts to help people cope with the removal of fuel subsidies. Out of the 70 buses, 30 will be dedicated to transporting civil servants to and from work on weekdays. The buses will pick them up in the morning and drop them off in the evening.
However, the governor also emphasized the importance of keeping transportation costs affordable. He wants the buses to be seen as a social service, not just a way to make money.
Governor Zulum praised the management of the state-owned transport company for their hard work. He commended them for improving the Maiduguri terminus and taking care of their staff’s welfare. The General Manager has been making sure that the employees receive their entitlements on time, which is something worth appreciating.
