Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong has relaxed the curfew in Jos North Local Government Area which will be effective from Wednesday.
Mr Lalong’s spokesman Makut Macham in a statement said the curfew would now be enforced from 10 pm to 6 am.
He said that the curfew was reviewed following the state security council meeting at Government House in Jos over the recent attacks in the state.
The governor, however, said the curfew in Jos South and Bassa local government areas still remain from 10 pm to 6 am.
The governor also relaxed the total ban on operations of tricycles.
“This means that no tricycle will be allowed to operate between the hours of 6p.m. to 6a.m.
“However, the ban on motorcycles within the Jos/Bukuru Metropolis remains in force and will continue to ensure that violators are arrested and punished according to the law.
”The government is working on innovations, legislations and enforcement modules, for enhancing security, effectiveness and availability of public transportation in the State. It will soon be unveiled to ensure safety of passengers,” he said.
Lalong thanked the people of Plateau for their cooperation in complying with its directives while urging them to continue to support the government in restoring normalcy to the state.
He also thanked all stakeholders within and outside the state for their show of concern over recent attacks in Plateau.
Lalong assured that his administration would continue to pursue the path of peaceful coexistence.
