Kwara CP Urges Peaceful Conduct Among Transporters Amid Fuel Price Hike

In light of the recent fuel price increases affecting transportation costs, the Commissioner of Police in Kwara State, CP Paul Odama, has called on commercial transport operators to maintain peace and avoid any actions that could disrupt public order. This appeal comes as the state grapples with the economic impact of rising fuel prices, which have heightened tensions among transporters and commuters alike.

During a meeting with transport unions, CP Odama emphasized the importance of cooperation and dialogue to address grievances related to fare hikes. He urged transporters to engage in peaceful protests if necessary, rather than resorting to violence or disruption. The police are committed to ensuring the safety of all citizens and maintaining order during this challenging period.

The call for peace reflects broader concerns about the implications of fuel price hikes on daily life, particularly as families prepare for the new school year, where transportation costs are a significant concern for many parents and guardians.
