The Lagos State Government plans to make this year’s Eid-El-Fitri celebration stress-free.
The state government has, therefore, provided free bus ride for residents tomorrow.
The free bus ride, according to a statement by the Managing Director of the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Dr. Dayo Mobereola, would enable Muslims to have easy access to different praying centres across the state
.
Mobereola said the free bus service would help in reducing congestion on the roads, adding that the service would run for 13 hours beginning from 7:00am and end at 10:00pm.
Mobereola read: “The First BRT Cooperative, operator of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), will offer free services on Mile 12 – CMS, Mile 12 – Obalende, Ajah to National Stadium, Ajah – Obalende, Mile 12 – National Stadium, Mile 2 – National Stadium, Oshodi – Obalende and Oshodi – National Stadium routes.
“On the Bus Franchise Scheme (BFS) corridor, free services will be offered on the Ikotun – Ikeja – Maryland, Iyana Ipaja – Maryland, Ikotun – Iyana Ipaja, Igando – Iyana Ipaja, Igando – Ikeja, and Igando – Maryland routes.”
He urged those who would put their vehicles on the roads to drive with care and observe traffic rules.
Dr. Mobereola reminded road users of the existence of the Lagos Traffic Law and warned against flouting the law under the guise of the public holiday.
While wishing Muslims a rewarding Eid-Il- Fitr, Mobereola called for moderation during the celebration.
