The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has extended the free bus service by all Edo City Transport Service (ECTS) buses till Friday, February 24, 2023.
In a statement by Special Adviser to the Governor on Media Projects, Crusoe Osagie, on Monday, he said the extension became necessary because the cash crunch experienced by the people in the state has remained unabated.
“While the government intensifies efforts to bring a lasting solution to this issue, the government calls on the people to remain calm and law-abiding as normalcy will be restored shortly,” Osagie said.
metrowatchxtra recalls that Governor Obaseki had last week directed that beginning from February 16, 2023, all ECTS buses are to provide free services to passengers, as a means of reducing the effect of the cash crunch experienced by people of the state.
