High transportation cost: FG’ll grant waivers to air, road, rail transport operators — Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu on Monday, December 18, said the federal government is taking measures to alleviate the high cost of transportation by granting waivers to operators in the air, road, and rail transportation systems.

President Tinubu gave the assurance during a meeting with members of the Newspaper Proprietors’ Association of Nigeria (NPAN), who paid him a visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

According to a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the consideration was as a result of the challenges faced by travellers during the festive season.

President Tinubu assured NPAN that his administration will always uphold media freedom and respect opinions, whether they are adversarial or complimentary to his government.

He assured the body’s members that he would carefully consider their request for a review of policies affecting the paper industry, acknowledging concerns about existing regulations hindering local access to newsprint.
