… To Distribute Food To The Poorest Residents 
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced a fresh reduction in transport fare on all Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) routes by 50% beginning from Wednesday August 2.
Sanwo-Olu, who disclosed this on Monday, also said commercial buses, popularly known as ‘Danfo,’ will follow suit with a reduction of 25% in fare on all routes.
Governor Sanwo-Olu made the announcement while addressing journalists at the State House, Ikeja, at the end of a security meeting with security agencies such as the Army, Police and the Navy.
Saying that the number of Lagos State staff buses will be increased, Sanwo-Olu added that new buses have already been purchased.
The governor also said the state government will commence distribution of food such as rice, beans and garri to the poorest people in the state.
The distribution of the palliatives
according to Sanwo-Olu, will be done through the Community Development Associations (CDAs), churches, mosques, and local government areas.
According to him, “These measures are to cushion the effect of removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government, as well as the harsh economic situation in the country.”
Also at the event, the state Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, who unveiled the efforts of the Police to address security situation in the state, said that there have been an increase in cultists and vehicle vandalism in the state.
He added that since Operation Flush was formed by the Command, 260 suspects have been arrested and investigated.
Owohunwa said the governor has urged the Police Command to upscale their operation, warning “that anyone planning to disrupt the peace of the state will be dealt with”.
