As part of efforts to make the forthcoming Ileya festival a stress-free one, Governor of Osun state, Sen. Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke has approved the Free Train ride for all his citizens residing in Lagos, Ogun and Oyo states who are interested in celebrating the forthcoming Eid El Kabir in Osun State.
In a statement made available to newsmen in Osogbo on Friday, the Honourable Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo noted that the State Government has concluded arrangements for the services with the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC).
This, according to him, will ease transportation and enable those who interested in celebrating this year’s Eid El Kabir (Ileya Festival) with their families and loved ones in Osun State, to do so, at a lesser overall cost.
The Commissioner said, “as part of his efforts to make life easier for his people, the Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke has provided free train rides for Osun indigenes living in Lagos State, Ogun State and Oyo State willing to celebrate the Ileya festival with their families in Osun State”.
“The Imole free train ride will depart the Iddo-terminus in Lagos on Saturday, 15th June, 2024 by 10am with stop-overs at designated train stations in Ogun and Oyo States to pick passengers and is expected to arrive at the Osogbo train station by 6pm”.
“The return trip from Osogbo railway terminus to Lagos will be on Wednesday, 19th June, 2024 by 12 noon”.
The State Government, therefore, enjoined citizens of Osun to avail themselves of this opportunity to visit the state and assures them of adequate security inside the train.
