In a gesture of goodwill towards the communities they serve, the Redeemed Christian Church of God’s Youth Province 1 on Monday launched a complimentary bus service that will transport commuters within select neighborhoods in both Lagos and Ogun States.
The Province unveiled their free bus service which kicked off on the same day as the statement was released as a direct response to the debilitating effects of inflation on the local economy. The initiative not only aims to alleviate the financial burden of transportation costs for commuters, but also seeks to offer spiritual support and guidance during this difficult time.
The statement read, “Eight buses will depart from Car Park C, near Redemption City, Mowe, Ibafo, and Berger, heading towards CMS and other major business districts. Two buses will depart from Festac, Apple Junction, in front of RCCG Joseph’s Palace, near Mega Chicken, for commuters travelling to Victoria Island, Lekki, and surrounding areas.
“The buses will be available from 5:30 am for the Mowe-Berger routes and 6:00 am for the Festac routes, ensuring early morning convenience for Lagos’s hard-working citizens. The same buses will return commuters to the mainland starting at 6:00 pm each evening, covering the same and additional drop-off locations.”
The statement further explained that the provision of 10 complimentary buses was intended to provide much-needed assistance to the working class, who often face difficulties in navigating the demanding and costly transport network of Lagos and Ogun States.
It reads, “The initiative aims to ease transportation costs while also providing spiritual care and guidance. The statement disclosed that buses will depart from Mowe, Ibafo, Berger, and 7UP at Car Park C (near Redemption City) to CMS, as well as from Festac, RCCG Joseph’s Palace, Apple Junction, to Victoria Island and Lekki.
“This initiative is powered by RCCG Youth Province 1 – Leading the Future Now, under the leadership of Pastor Oluwagbemileke and Pastor Mrs Titilope Adeboye (PICP and Wife of the Pastor in Charge of Province, YP1), Pastor Martins and Pastor Mrs Omolara Olusakin (Assistant Pastor in Charge of Province, Corporate Social Responsibility), and Pastor Abiodun and Pastor Mrs Tolu Famojuro (Assistant Pastor in Charge of Province, Admin).”
A statement from the Pastor in charge of Youth Province 1 Pastor Oluwagbemileke Adeboye, states, “Understanding the economic strain on the working class, RCCG YP1 has launched a free bus service to assist commuters in key areas of Lagos and Ogun State.
“This initiative will run for five days, and our aim is twofold: to help citizens save money during these challenging economic times and to offer spiritual support. Our ultimate goal is to save souls.
“While we help you cut transportation costs, we also encourage you to prioritize your family’s spiritual well-being by connecting with a local RCCG branch near you.”
