This abrupt suspension has placed a considerable burden on students throughout the city, who are now grappling with the absence of crucial bus services provided by various educational institutions.
These buses, affiliated with multiple schools and colleges, abruptly ceased their operations starting this past Tuesday, citing a dire shortage of funds necessary to acquire diesel fuel. Consequently, students who depend on these buses as their primary mode of transportation now find themselves without a vital means of getting to school.

Reports indicate that college principals had continuously requested financial assistance from the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) to sustain their transportation services, but it appears that their pleas went unanswered. Consequently, the critical funding shortfall has resulted in the suspension of bus services, leaving both students and parents in a state of distress.
Concerned parents have issued an appeal to the Minister of Education, urgently requesting intervention to restore this essential transport facility. Meanwhile, efforts are underway to obtain the perspective of the FDE on this pressing issue, as the community eagerly awaits a resolution to this crisis.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
