Subsidy withdrawal causes Orji to reduce transport fares

Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State has ordered the transport company of the State, Abia Line Network to reduce its transport fares by 13 percent to cushion the effect of the partial withdrawal of subsidy on fuel by the Federal Government.

The Governor, who gave the directive at the presentation of 7 new commuter busses to the corporation also appealed to the National Union of Road Transport Workers to emulate government by reducing their fares.


Orji disclosed that his administration has employed about 4,500 youths of the State through the Local Government System, noting that his administration is committed to improving the lot of the people of the State.
