Unilorin Commends Kwara Gov for Subsidised Transportation Initiative
The University of Ilorin has commended Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq for the approval and release of three mass transit buses to aid the transportation of members of the institution's community, with a 50% fare reduction for four weeks beginning on Monday, March 19, 2024.
In a letter dated February 19, 2024, and signed by the Registrar of the University, Mr Mansur Adeleke Alfanla, which was addressed to the Special Assistant to the Governor on Students' Affairs, Hon. Salami Wasiu Onibugbe, the university thanked the governor for the programme, which he said would reduce the transportation challenges facing many staff and students of the university, particularly those who live off-campus.
The Registrar also conveyed the approval of the Vice Chancellor, Professor Wahab Egbewole, SAN, for the use of the university's bus terminus at Tipper Garage as one of the “Sludr” bus stops, saying that the approval was in response to the Kwara state government's request to use the university's bus terminus for such.
He added that the university is particularly grateful to Governor Abdulrazaq for his invaluable support and dedication to the university's growth and development.
The letter said, “It is no gainsaying the fact that this transportation intervention by His Excellency, Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, would go a long way in ameliorating the transportation problems being faced by both students and staff of the university.“.
The 50% fare reduction on these three buses will be available for four weeks, beginning Monday, March 19, 2024.
This development may not be unconnected to the reaction of the Kwara state government to a media report where various members of the university community appealed to the Kwara state government to reinstate mass transit services to the university route.
