The University of Ibadan Students’ Union through the Complaints Committee (Task Force), under the supervision of the House Secretary, Elemide Daniel, has on Friday, 3rd of August, 2024, released reviewed intra-campus transportation fares.
In a chat with IndyPress, the Chairman of the Complaints Committee, Ajibola Peter, noted that the significant update in the release was the clarification in the price of tricycle drop depending on distance.
“The only change is the Keke drop which was not specified on the previous price list,” the Committee Chairman told IndyPress.
Tricycle drop for “one passenger going to places where the fee for a single person is #100” is expected to pay #300, while “places where the fee for a single person is #150” has been pegged at #400.
Responding further, the Complaints Committee Chairman noted that a plan is underway to make the committee resourceful with more members.
“We have this in plan. There will be a swift response team, it will be rolled out next week. The reason why I didn’t put it out with that price list is because I still want more volunteers on the response team. So far I’ve gotten quite number of people, their names and numbers will be out next week” Ajibola Peter added.
