Galaxy Transporta­tion and Constructi­on Services has promised to revive the transporta­tion scheme at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, which is in comatose.

The Managing Director, Babagana Dalori made the pledge in Abuja after receiving the ‘Humanitari­an Icon’ award by ABU Students Union Representa­tive Council.

Dalori, who commended the council for finding him worthy of the award, said there was need to try as much as possible to stimulate greater innovative minds towards growing the Nigerian economy.

“While I accept this recognitio­n as a humanitari­an icon, it is my sincere hope that I will endeavour to enhance and be of great support to Nigerian youths with great abilities and entreprene­urial acumen taking in cognisance their high ethical values at all times, as well as appreciate the greater commitment and of responsibi­lity to the growth of our economy and service to humanity.”

He added: “On your request for proper transporta­tion scheme in ABU, by the grace of God, our company will ensure that smooth transporta­tion system is establishe­d. What we will establish at ABU is going to be in such a way that the beneficiar­ies of the profit coming from the transport system are the students because we want to make it in a way that any student who so wishes to invest in that transporta­tion system will buy a seat in the bus, whatever the seat generates, the profit goes to whoever invested in that seat.

“After a period of time when investors must have gotten their profits, we will also come up with a plan where the driver because he has worked so hard, we will make a room for him also to own the bus.
