Joeboy, the popular Nigerian singer, has unveiled a new initiative aimed at alleviating the burden of increased transportation costs and rising commodity prices resulting from the removal of fuel subsidies. In a bid to assist the residents of Lagos, Joeboy has introduced free bus services within the city.
The announcement was made by the singer himself via his official Twitter account on Tuesday. Joeboy, whose latest album is titled “Body and Soul,” expressed his desire to lend a helping hand to the public over the next three days through this initiative.
The free bus services will operate along heavily populated routes, including Iyana Oworo-Lekki/Jakande, Unilag Gate/Yaba, and Obanlende/Oshodi. These buses will be available to passengers at no cost and will operate between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm.
Joeboy emphasized that his motive behind this endeavor is genuinely driven by a desire to mitigate the adverse economic conditions faced by the public. He acknowledged that the removal of fuel subsidies has placed a significant burden on individuals and believes it is only natural to extend assistance during these challenging times.
While some individuals speculate that this initiative may simply serve as a promotional strategy for Joeboy’s latest album, with the intention of garnering more popularity in Lagos and nationwide, others view it as a noble gesture aimed at aiding the community.
“I am aware of the hardships caused by the removal of fuel subsidies, and this is my small way of providing assistance. Over the next three days, there will be FREE Body & Soul buses operating along the following routes between 8 am and 5 pm,” Joeboy announced.
The introduction of these free bus services by Joeboy showcases the singer’s commitment to supporting the public during a time of economic uncertainty. As Lagos residents grapple with increased transportation costs, this initiative is set to provide temporary relief and contribute to easing the burden on individuals struggling to navigate their daily lives.
