The Nigerian Union of Roads Transport Workers (NURTW) slice down the transport fares across the 21 LGAs in the state. The State Secretary of the Union, Alhaji Hamisu Usman,
confirmed the development to our reporter that the union has not any
reason not to reduce the price.
" No reason for us as a Union not to slice down the fares
considering the fact that all Filing stations are selling at official
pump price 87 naira and other are also selling below the official pump
price of 85 naira in all the filling stations in the state".
The Commissioner of information, Comrade Ahmad Ibrahim
Sajoh has also confirmed about the latest development and attribute it
to the wind of change the is generally blowing around every corner of
the state "Wonders of change can take different dimensions. This is
one of the few patriotic responses to the availability of fuel at 87
across the country". Sajoh said "We are waiting for other patriotic citizens and groups,
traders and others should please join in the process of expanding the
frontiers of the change benefits to the ordinary people. The real change
is here". Sajoh added
When our correspondent went round the popular Jambutu park,
Adamawa Sunshine Park owned by the state Government commuter complained
that the 20% price reduction is too small that the management should
do some about it again. Contrary to the hope of many people all the inter-city
luxurious Bus refused to cut down the transport fare despite the
reduction in the official pump price.
The Management of G.U.C Motors, Mr Daniel Uchenna laments
that the people did not take into notice their company operate as people
and goods transport business and do apply long route unlike other
transport buses that did carry only few months. Daniel bluntly said they cannot reduce the fares now until serious price in diesel is reduce.
This is a good step towards actualization of the change we voted for.
