Residents in the Federal Capital Territory are lamenting the increase in transportation fares across the territory.

He said,” Coming to the town from Kuje has become expensive. I have said to myself I won’t come to town if I am not sure of my mission. This will enable me to cut costs for now. To think today is day two of the president’s statement, I can assure you transporters will capitalise on this and the fares will still go up. ”

She said, “Judging by what I experienced today, the money I will have to be spending from my house to work will drastically increase. I stay at Gwagwalada. N700 brought me to work today, I initially was reluctant to board the vehicle until I realised that they all were calling the same price, this formerly cost us between N400 and N500. I hope salaries are reviewed, things have been hard and with this, it would be very difficult for people to cope.
