Smart Unilorites,

In furtherance of our ongoing efforts and negotiations on review of transportation costs on our campus routes, owing to the prevailing economic situation and skyrocketing cost of fuel and operation, we have negotiated new tricycle fares for destinations to University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) and College of Health Sciences (COHS).

Please be notified that the sitting arrangement is effectively reversed to 3-1 for comfortability with the new pricing as follows:

- UITH - PS: ₦400
- New College - PS: ₦300
- UITH - New College: ₦150
- PS - Hostel/Class Area: ₦100 (remains unchanged).

This unavoidable adjustment which will be effective from Tomorrow, Thursday, 7th November, 2024, reflects the growing cost of operations and aims to maintain reliable transport services in the University Community while striking a fair balance between both parties and considering the current economic situation.

We acknowledge inconveniences caused and appreciate your patience and cooperation as we navigate this situation together.

We strongly enjoin our colleagues to bear with this development and not to exceed this agreed price when boarding tricycles on this route as we pledge to ensure fare reductions when the economic situation improves.
