The Edo State Government has said it spent N110m on diesel in three months for the free transport scheme across the State to cushion the effect of the fuel subsidy removal by the Federal Government on the people of Edo State.
In a statement, the Edo State Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, urged members of the public to disregard the falsehood peddled by Senator Monday Okpebholo, who represents the people of Edo Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, on the transport scheme, which has benefitted over 1.5m Edo residents in its first phase.
