REVIEW OF TRANSPORTATION FARES
Following the recent increase in pricing of fuel, which has risen from ₦930 to between ₦1,200-₦1,500 after our last review, we regret to announce an unavoidable adjustment in transportation fares on the University roads as follows:
- PS - Tanke: ₦300 now ₦400
- PS to Challenge/Post Office (Bus): ₦500 now ₦600
- PS to Challenge/Post Office (Car): ₦600 now ₦700
This unavoidable adjustment which will be effective from Monday, 28th October, 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 understand the impact this may have on our colleagues, and in response, provisions have been made to engage with the State Government for potential solutions. We are currently working on securing more Marco-polo Buses as a more affordable and sustainable transportation option for our colleagues.
Our goal is to ease the financial burden on our colleagues while ensuring convenient and reliable transport services remain accessible.
We strongly enjoin our colleagues to bear with this development and not to exceed this agreed price when boarding buses on this route as we pledge to ensure fare reductions when the economic situation improves.
