President Tinubu Approves Free Train Rides For Two Weeks

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved free train rides across the country from December 20, 2024, to January 5, 2025.

This initiative aims to reduce transportation expenses during the Christmas and New Year festivities, according to the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, who addressed State House correspondents in Abuja.

Idris stated, “Just like last year, free train services will be available to all Nigerians nationwide from December 20 to January 5.”

“This is consistent with the President’s desire to cushion the effect of transportation, especially to the most vulnerable Nigerians.

“Recall that this also happened in the last Christmas period and the Sallah period. And the President has also approved that this year.”
