UPDATE ON THE SUDDEN INCREASE IN TRANSPORT FARE BY KOROPE DRIVERS
Sequel to the sudden increase of transport fare by Korope drivers in the early hours of today, the Union officials met with the drivers' union at the instance of the Student Affairs Unit.
As much as we are aware of the economic situation, scarcity and price of fuel in the country, the meeting resolved that the transportation arrangements should be reviewed.
Therefore, the transport fare from Terminus to the University central park and vice versa shall remain ONE HUNDRED NAIRA (N100) only as against the N150 being charges today, 28/11/2022, while the sitting arrangement will now be four each at back and middle seats and two at the front seat (4-4-2) as against the 3-3-2.
This review is expected to take effect from tomorrow morning, Tuesday 29th November, 2022, and we expect total compliance by the drivers and students. Also note that this is a temporary arrangement as another review meeting will hold when the price of fuel might have stabilised.
