In a generous gesture to ease the travel burden of students, Ghanaian actor and entrepreneur John Dumelo has announced free bus rides for students of the University of Ghana, Legon, as they head home for the Christmas holidays. This initiative, expected to bring relief to many students, comes as a response to the financial strain that often accompanies festive travel, especially for those who may struggle with transport costs.
John Dumelo, who has overtime been consistent with his interest in the empowerment of the youth and other social causes, took to his social media handles to announce the program and invited students to come forward for the offer. The buses, which are expected to move from different parts of the Legon campus, are to convey the students to several destinations around the country, so that as many students as possible can be carried along in the service.
“The holiday season is a time for family, and I want to make sure that students have the opportunity to go home without the worry of transportation fees,” Dumelo shared in a post. “This is just one way I can give back to the community that has supported me over the years.”
Free bus rides, which start several days before Christmas, have received widespread applause from the student population, many of whom went to social media to express their gratitude. Transport fares are usually high during this time of the year, so Dumelo’s intervention is considered a welcome respite and a true act of community service.
