Plateau Govt. Further Relaxes Curfew In Jos-Bukuru Metropolis from 6am to 10pm, Effective Wednesday
In a move reflecting recent security improvements, the Plateau State Government has announced a further relaxation of the curfew in the Jos-Bukuru metropolis.
This decision, effective from Wednesday, August 14, 2024, will allow residents to engage in lawful activities between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM daily, pending further review.
The announcement, made by His Excellency, Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, followed extensive consultations with security agencies.
The Governor expressed his gratitude to the people of Plateau State for their patriotism and cooperation during these challenging times.
Governor Mutfwang commended the security personnel for their dedication and professionalism in enforcing the curfew.
He also urged residents to maintain their collaboration with security agencies to ensure the continued safety of lives and property.
However, amidst this development, tensions remain high as residents continue to stage hunger protests, demanding immediate relief measures.
The protests, driven by food scarcity and economic hardship exacerbated by the curfew, have drawn significant attention and calls for more comprehensive government intervention.
Gyang Bere, the Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Executive Governor of Plateau State, released the statement on August 13, 2024.
The Plateau State Government’s response to the ongoing protests will be closely monitored as the situation unfolds.
