The Ondo State chapter of the Social Democratic Party {SDP} has called on the state government to reintroduce the free shuttle buses for secondary school students in order to cushion the effect of hike in the price of petrol.
The party, in a statement issued on Monday in Akure, the state capital and signed by the state chairman of the party, Stephen Adewale, argued that the reintroduction of the free shuttle buses would “ease the suffering parents are experiencing in the state at this crucial time when petrol is sold at the minimum price of ₦500/litre.
Adewale said: “We make this call after taking note of the difficulties parents in the eighteen local governments across the state face in providing daily transportation funds for their children as a result of the unjust hardship imposed on the populace by the APC-led Federal Government.
