The Kaduna state government says it will begin free transportation for civil servants, retirees, and students from Monday, July 7.



In a statement on Sunday, July 6, Inuwa Ibrahim, director-general of the Kaduna State Transport Regulatory Authority, KADSTRA, said the initiative will run for six months, after which a 60 percent subsidy on transport fares will take effect for the general public.
Ibrahim said the scheme will benefit students across public and private schools, from primary to tertiary level.

The gesture, according to him, is part of the Uba Sani-led administration’s commitment to the welfare of residents, particularly civil servants, senior citizens, and young people.
Ibrahim said civil servants will be granted access to the buses upon presentation of a valid staff identity card and a matching national identification number, NIN.
He added that students will be allowed to board only if they are in full school uniform, while personnel of recognised security agencies can access the buses on presentation of proper identification.
