Less than one year when he began the Free diesel and petrol support to churches and mosques in his constituency and other projects,
Hon Dipo Olorunrinu, Member representing Amuwo Odofin Local Government at the Lagos State House of Assembly has officially launched the FREE SCHOOL BUS transportation system for schools in his constituency.

Speaking at the event, Hon Dipo noted that his action was in response to the need of parents/guardians who could not afford transport fare to send their children to school and to also discourage parents from sending their children to school on bikes. "Lagos state as we know have put a ban on bikes or okada as we call it. It is dangerous for these young children which is why the buses are safer. It has also come in a time when the rains are here.

 

I will do all I must to support education in my community" he said. Adding that the buses are FREE as clearly noted and for all secondary, primary and nursery school children.

Commending his effort, Mrs Babara Bigjamez a company rep from Bigjamez Ent. United States said "these are the kind of laudable examples of leadership the people need. A leader who really knows the needs of his people and attends to them". The event had in attendance party State and Local executives, president Festac Town Resident Association, the international community, artisans, parents and guardians as well as some school representatives and the general public. Entertainment was provided by child song star Ozzy Bosco.
