The Osun
Government on Sunday said it would provide free train service for its
citizens who would be travelling to Osogbo from Lagos for the
Eid-el-Kabir festival.
This is contained in a
statement issued by Semiu Okanlawon, the media aide to Governor Rauf
Aregbesola, and made available to journalists in Osogbo.
According to the
statement, the free train service would convey people from Lagos to
Osogbo on Tuesday and Wednesday at 11:00 am.
It stated that the return journey to Lagos from Osogbo would hold on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 11: a.m.
The statement said the
gesture by the state government was aimed at facilitating a stress-free
homecoming for the people during the festival.
It noted that the state
government had, since 2011, been making such similar arrangements for
the people of the state to travel home during festive seasons.
The statement urged the travellers to take advantage of their homecoming to assess the ongoing developments in the state.
“We encourage holiday
makers to use this opportunity to update themselves about the
developments that are taking place in the state as against the
persistent negative media campaigns by our traducers.
“This is one of those
opportunities they have to see things directly in order to be guided by
future campaigns of calumny which our political opponents are committed
to,” it said.
