Former presidential candidate in 2019 and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has canvassed the provision of shuttle buses that would ease movement of commuters, especially in neighbourhood streets.
Olawepo-Hashim, who stated this while giving out seven cars to members of his staff as well as worship leaders at the Covenant Altar of Worship Ministry, said the provision of the buses would ameliorate the sufferings and security concerns that passengers have to deal with on a daily basis.
Against the backdrop of easing the cost of living, he said the councils should be able to provide such safe and conducive shuttle buses to ease movement of commuters.
He also stated that he was moved to give out the vehicles following the harrowing experiences the beneficiaries have had to deal with in the course of using not conducive and unsafe transportation.
He recounted how one of the beneficiaries, a woman and her child, barely survived after they fell off a commercial motorcycle.
He also noted that passengers have been subjected to attacks because of the insecure nature of the transport system.
However, while charging the councils across the country to provide safe shuttle buses, he said it would not just ease transportation for them but also, ensure some sense of security.
Some of the car beneficiaries include Taiye Godstime Atolagbe; Funke Samuel; Elizabeth Ola; Felix Gabriel; Vivian Metu; Bulus Alika and Abdulrahaman Abdulganiyu.
