 Sokoto Launches E-Ticketing System for Mass Transit Vehicles


The Sokoto State Government has introduced an e-ticketing system for its fleet of 126 mass transit vehicles, which are used for inter-state, intra-city, and inter-local government transportation services.


This was revealed during a demonstration on Monday at the governor’s office, where Sokoto State Governor, Ahmed Aliyu, was shown how the e-ticketing system works, allowing passengers to obtain tickets effortlessly.


Governor Aliyu stated that the initiative is part of his administration's broader efforts to promote transparency and accountability within the state’s mass transit operations and across other sectors.


“This system is beneficial and will support a cashless economy, ensuring that all transportation fares are directed into the government’s coffers,” he said.


He emphasized that the e-ticketing system would ensure value for money spent on the 126 vehicles currently serving the state’s transportation needs for inter-state, intra-city, and inter-local government routes.


“I am confident that this development will significantly reduce incidents of mismanagement of public funds,” Aliyu added.


The governor also pointed out that the initiative would enable the government to better supervise its vehicles and monitor their roadworthiness.


Aliyu pledged his administration’s full support for the project and urged the consulting firm involved to continue improving the e-ticket acquisition process.


Additionally, he noted that the program, once fully operational, would create job opportunities and boost the state’s revenue.


The demonstration was attended by the Governor's Special Adviser on Mass Transit, Mode Shagari, and a representative from the consulting firm, Mr. Mahmud. They both praised the initiative, describing it as a significant step forward that would benefit both passengers and the state government.


The e-ticketing system was introduced ahead of the planned release of more mass transit vehicles to the unit under Governor Aliyu's administration.
