Based on the impacts identified in the paper, the following are suggested among others that; Governments and other stakeholders should endeavour to come into the aid of schools’ administrators and teachers in terms of school running and teaching programme as subsidy removal has majorly affected their delivery (virtual and physical instructional facilities), training, and majorly on transportation cut across schools (primary, school, and tertiary institution). Also, students are at the receiving end of the learning process, and whatever happens affect them directly thus, the hike of transportation today as been a major determinant of students’ absentee in classes cut across primary, secondary and higher education, thus, governments, stakeholders and philanthropists and all well-wishers should look into the provision of school buses or to subsidize the transport fair for students and make lives meaningful for these younger generations.
