The ‘Soludero’ buses, provided by the Kwara State Government, are set to begin operations on April 29th. This move comes after students voiced their struggles with the fuel shortage, increased traffic, and rising transport costs. The Students’ Union has been proactive in preventing fare hikes by monitoring prices at the school park and off-campus stations, following a press statement that confirmed bus fares would remain unchanged.
