Plateau State Government has further relaxed the curfew in Jos North Local Government Area as well as lifted the ban earlier placed on operations of tricycles commonly referred to as Keke.
A Statement by the Director of Press and Public Affairs to Plateau State Governor Mr MaKut Simon Macham says the decision was taking after a meeting of the State Security Council held at the new Government House Little Rayfield Jos.
He said Governor Simon Lalong approved that beginning from Wednesday 8th September 2021, the curfew in Jos North will be enforced from 10pm to 6am to tally with the current status of the curfew in Jos South and Bassa Local Government Areas.
Similarly, Governor Lalong also approved that beginning from Wednesday 8th September 2021, the ban placed on operations of tricycles will be lifted from 6am to 6pm daily.
However, the ban on motorcycles within the Jos/Bukuru Metropolis remains intact as law enforcement will continue to ensure that violators are arrested and punished according to the law.
The statement said the Government was working on innovations, legislations and enforcement modules for enhancing the security, effectiveness and availability of public transportation in the State, which will be unveiled in due course and is expected to address the major concerns of the citizens particularly as it relates to the safety of passengers.
