AS part of efforts to improve transportation in the ancient city of Ile Ife, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi yesterday commissioned seven coastal buses to enhance  inter-state transportation for the people of  ancient town and its environs.

This came as the traditional ruler also announced free treatment of ailments for the people in his kingdom.

Oba Ogunwusi while commissioning the Made-in-Nigeria coastal buses at his palace at Enuwa Square in Ile-Ife, urged Nigerians to patronize locally made products.

He noted that the current economic challenges facing the country would be reduced if Nigerians have a change of attitude and place preference on locally made products and services.

He said he decided to partner with Olofin Micro Finance Bank, Ile-Ife to purchase the vehicles in order to bring about economic growth of Ile-Ife and also ease transportation into and outside Ife town.

He urged the people of the town to avail themselves of the opportunity provided by the free health healthcare service in order to be in good health condition to contribute their quota to the development of Ife project.
