The recent removal of the fuel subsidy by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has led to a surge in fuel prices, resulting in increased transportation costs and hardships for Nigerians.

In light of these circumstances, Joeboy's generous gesture and the fact that he has kept his promise have eased the stress of many Lagosians facing daily transportation struggles.
