Governor of Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has directed that beginning from February 16, 2023, all Edo City Transport Service (ECTS) buses are to provide free services to passengers.
This, the Governor said, is a means of reducing the effect of the cash crunch experienced by people of the state.
The directive was contained in a statement issued by Special Adviser on Media Projects to the Governor, Mr. Crusoe Osagie, on Thursday.
He said the directive is applicable to all routes and is effective till Monday, February 20, 2023, after which further announcement would be issued on the matter.
The government, however, called on the people to remain calm and law-abiding, assuring that normalcy will be restored shortly.
