The Lagos State Government will provide free bus ride for Lagosians today in celebration of the Eid-el-Kabir.
The Managing Director of the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Dr. Dayo Mobereola, who announced it in a statement, said the free bus ride would start at 7.00am and end at 10.00pm.
The free service will be offered by both the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system along the Mile 12 to CMS corridor and the Bus Franchise Scheme (BFS) along the Igando/Ikotun/Iyana-Ipaja/Maryland corridor.
While admonishing Lagosians to be cautious during the festivities, the statement urged: “We don’t want anyone to drink and drive. While the government is not promoting alcohol consumption, if you must drink, don’t drive, but use public transport that has been provided free instead.”
There you have it guys. Life is very precious and should be guarded carefully. Please do not get carried away with the sallah festivities...whatever you do DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!
Happy Eid/Holidays.
