The intervention is set to commence on Thursday, December 21, and conclude on January 4, 2024.

He highlighted that President Bola Tinubu approved of this gesture to demonstrate his love for Nigerians.
The move is aimed at enabling Nigerians to travel to visit their loved ones and hometowns during the holiday season without the additional burden of high transportation costs.
Alake further mentioned that President Tinubu has directed the police, Department of State Services (DSS), the military, and other security agencies to collaborate to ensure a safe holiday period without any security breaches across the country.
“While we wish all Nigerians a great holiday season, we implore everyone to be law-abiding, be security conscious, be our brother’s keepers, and extend every goodwill to our families, friends and neighbours.
“While we celebrate and enjoy all the social activities that come with the season, let us also remember to celebrate in moderation,” he stated.
