Eid-El-Kabir: Osun Govt. Offers Free Train Ride for Indigenes

By Farouk Mohammed

The government of Osun state has provided free train ride for indigenes of the state who intend to travel from Lagos to Osogbo during the Eid-el-Kabir holiday.

Commissioner for Industries, Commerce and Co-operatives, Ismaila Jayeoba-Alagbada, made the announcement in a statement issued on Monday in Osogbo, the state capital.

Jayeoba explained that the free train is expected to move from Lagos to Osogbo twice before the Sallah day, but will operate only one trip for the post-sallah return journey.

”This is one of the social protection projects of the Aregbesola administration. We commenced this offer more than six years ago and have not looked back,” the commissioner said.
