The Plateau State Government has officially lifted the curfew imposed on the Jos-Bukuru Metropolis, signaling a return to normalcy following an improvement in the security situation and the peaceful conduct of residents.
The curfew was initially imposed by Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang after thorough consultations with security agencies. It was a response to attempts by hoodlums to hijack a nationwide protest, prompting the state government to enforce a 24-hour curfew to prevent further unrest.
The decision to lift the curfew was made after a comprehensive review with security agencies, allowing citizens to resume their economic and lawful activities while maintaining public order.
Governor Mutfwang expressed deep gratitude to the people of Plateau State for their steadfast patriotism and cooperation during the challenging period of the curfew. He assured residents of his unwavering commitment to their well-being and the safety of their communities.
The Governor also praised the security personnel for their dedication and effective enforcement of the curfew, which played a crucial role in restoring order. He called for continued collaboration between residents and security agencies to ensure the safety of lives and property across the state.
This move marks a significant step towards stabilizing the region and reaffirms the government’s commitment to protecting its citizens.
