➖Lagos State Governor-elect, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has promised to pay graduates to be employed by his fast approaching government, as drivers of Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, between N80,000 to 100,000 monthly.
According to Sanwo-Olu: *“The BRT issue is something that has to do with culture. When we take over, by the Grace of God, we will advertise and see if we can employ some of our graduates as drivers.*
*“What I realised is that apart from the money we will be paying them, which is more than what they are paying an average graduate, we need to very quickly tell our people and encourage ourselves that there is dignity in work. We are going to be paying (them) between N80,000 and N100,000 to come and drive these buses because we expect a lot more decency.*
*“By the time we get the culture of the drivers’ right, the routes are coming up, by the time we finish the Abule-Egba/Iyana Ipaja/Ikeja route, it will boost the number of BRT (buses).”*
