The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has launched a free bus service for commuters in Lagos and Ogun States, aiming to ease the burden of rising transportation costs caused by the recent fuel price hike.
The initiative, tagged “Free Bus To Work Powered By RCCG Youth Province 1,” will run from October 14 to December 6, 2024, offering weekday transportation to help alleviate the economic hardship many are facing.
The RCCG Youth Province 1 shared this development in a post on their official X (formerly Twitter) account, stating that the service is exclusively available Monday through Friday.
The post listed several pick-up and drop-off points across Lagos and Ogun States to accommodate commuters’ needs.
Pick-up points include:
Car Park C/Mowe Bus Stop to Law School, Victoria Island at 5:45 a.m. and 6 a.m.
Car Park C/Mowe Bus Stop to Berger/7Up Bus Stop at 6 a.m., 7 a.m., and 8 a.m.
RCCG Joseph Palace to CMS at 6 a.m.
Mowe to Sagamu Interchange at 7:30 a.m.

Ikorodu to Maryland at 6 a.m.
Return trips will depart from drop-off points starting at 5:30 p.m. each evening.
“We want to ease the daily cost of transportation for workers while also offering spiritual upliftment through our devotional materials,” said a spokesperson for RCCG Youth Province 1.
“It’s a holistic approach to addressing both the physical and spiritual challenges many are currently facing.”
This new initiative follows the church’s September 2024 launch of a similar program, which also provided free transportation in major areas of Lagos and Ogun States.
The free bus initiative continues tomorrow (Monday, 14th October 2024) for commuters in the Mowe-Lagos axis.
