Also, the statement said Governor Uba Sani is set to launch a Free Transportation Scheme for civil servants with the release of 100 CNG buses.

The buses, according to Governor Sani’s spokesman,  will convey civil servants to and from work, noting that this is aimed at alleviating the suffering of workers and enhancing their productivity.

The statement added that a Joint Management Committee consisting of representatives of organized labour (NLC and TUC) and the State Government will be set up to manage the Free Transportation Scheme for civil servants.
