In 2024, Osun announced a similar free train service for its citizens living in Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo, enabling them to travel for the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
This initiative aims to ease travel for Osun Muslims during the festive period, allowing them to celebrate Eid-el-Kabir with their families and communities.
A representative confirmed the details of the free train service as advertised on a flier to TheCable.
The representative emphasised that the initiative is part of the state government’s commitment to supporting its residents during key cultural and religious events.
She noted that the free train service is expected to accommodate a large number of passengers, ensuring that as many Osun Muslims as possible can partake in the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations with their loved ones.
