A statement by the Ministry of Commerce,
Cooperative, Industry and Empowerment on Tuesday said the free train
ride would convey people coming for the Easter festival from Lagos to
Osogbo on Friday 25 March by 10am.
The Government therefore enjoined
indigenes of the state to maximise the advantage the free train ride
offers them to visit home and enjoy the celebration.
The statement said: “This tradition of
free train ride as introduced by the Aregbesola government about five
years ago is aimed at facilitating the easy movement of the citizenry
wherever they are.
“And this programme takes care of both
Islamic and Christian festivities. Since its commencement, we can say
confidently that it has been a boost to the economy of the state.
“It is this ease during festival periods that informed the introduction of the scheme by Governor Aregbesola.”
