This policy, while well-intentioned, may struggle to deliver immediate relief if implementation is marred by inefficiency, inflated figures and corruption.

Nigeria should consider the @nairaxi_nigeria Direct Digital Transit Subsidy model:

• Tap-to-pay NFC cards subsidise actual passenger trips directly
• Nigerians invest in new buses while government regulates fares
• Every subsidised trip is digitally recorded, creating measurable KPIs and reducing leakages
• Investors operate under a structured 3-year framework, targeting up to 50% ROI, subject to performance, with buses transferred to government at exit
• Government spends on verified journeys, not blanket subsidies
• Commuters receive immediate, measurable fare relief
• Private capital expands public transport without government carrying the full upfront cost

The objective should not simply be cheaper fuel. It should be cheaper, traceable and accountable transportation for Nigerians.
