The governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, has declared that the curfew that was previously imposed on Jos, the state capital, will be lifted.
In a statement signed by Gyang Bere, his director of press and public affairs, the governor made this announcement on Thursday.
The statement read, “The Plateau State Government has fully lifted the curfew imposed on Jos-Bukuru Metropolis, following the peaceful conduct of residents and an improvement in the security situation.
“His Excellency, Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, had imposed a 24-hour curfew on the area after thorough consultations with security agencies, in response to hoodlums attempting to hijack the nationwide protest in the state.”
He added, “The decision to lift the curfew was made after a review with security agencies, which allows 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 this challenging period. He assured them of his unwavering commitment to their well-being.
“The Governor also commended the security personnel for their dedication and effective enforcement of the curfew. He called for continued collaboration between residents and security agencies to ensure the safety of lives and property across the state.”
After the state’s #EndBadGovernance in Nigeria protest, thugs attempted to wreak havoc in some areas of Jos; as a result, the state capital was placed under curfew.
