In a bid to ease the suffering of workers in Ebonyi State, following the subsidy removal, the Governor, Rt Hon Francis Nwifuru has purchased four luxury buses that will convey workers to and from work at no cost.

His Excellency, Rt Hon Builder Francis Nwifuru, GGCEHF, procured four 100 seater Innoson CNG buses that will be conveying workers of the State to their work places at no cost?
The buses which have been designated to be conveying Staff to Ebonyi State University, Ochoudo Centenary City, Abakaliki, the International Airport as well as Ebonyi State College of Education Ikwo and AE-FUNAI are procured as a way of cushioning the effect of hardship orchestrated by the recent fuel subsidy removal.

His Excellency while announcing this during his Independence Speech on Sunday, clarified that no Civil Servant is expected to pay a dime for commuting through the vehicle as cost of fuel and maintenance have already been borne by the State Government.

This gesture is in line with His Excellency’s people’s charter of needs manifesto. Promise kept to the people.
