The Ondo State Commissioner for Education, Mr Remi Olatubora, says 50 additional shuttle buses for students in the state will soon arrive.
Olatubora made this known on Thursday in Akure while monitoring the free transport service for students inaugurated by Gov. Olusegun Mimiko on June 12.
He said the governor had ordered the release of the money for the purchase in addition to the initial 20 already in operation in Akure.
The commissioner also said his ministry was making arrangements to ensure the success of the scheme, adding that residents of the state were appreciative of the government’s gesture.
Olatubora said the buses would set out at 6.00 am to pick up students at designated bus stops and urged them to take their studies seriously. (NAN)
