Plateau Relaxes Jos North Curfew Hours

The Plateau State Government is easing restrictions in Jos North Local Government Area, announcing a relaxation of the curfew following signs of improved security and relative calm after recent disturbances in the area.
According to Mediaplusng.com, the adjustment comes after security assessments indicate a gradual return to normalcy in communities affected by the Angwan Rukuba attacks, prompting authorities to modify earlier restrictions.
Under the revised curfew schedule, residents are now permitted to carry out their daily activities between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., while movement remains restricted from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
Authorities emphasize that the relaxation does not signal a complete return to normalcy but rather a cautious step aimed at balancing public safety with economic and social activities.
Citizens are advised to strictly adhere to the approved movement hours and ensure full compliance with curfew regulations to avoid disruptions to ongoing peace efforts.
According to Mediaplusng.com, the state government reiterates that cooperation from residents remains critical in sustaining the fragile peace currently observed across affected communities.

Residents are encouraged to remain indoors during curfew hours and avoid unnecessary movement that could expose them to danger or hinder security operations.
Authorities call on members of the public to support security agencies by providing timely and credible information that can help prevent potential threats and maintain stability.
The curfew relaxation follows a period of tension triggered by attacks in parts of Jos North, which prompted swift intervention by the state government and security agencies.
Officials continue to monitor developments closely, with assurances that further adjustments to the curfew will depend on sustained peace and security improvements.
Residents are reminded that maintaining peace is a collective responsibility, requiring discipline, cooperation, and respect for established guidelines.
The easing of restrictions is expected to allow businesses, workers, and students to gradually return to their daily routines within the permitted hours.
