Mutfwang imposed a 24-hour curfew earlier in the state capital, saying the decision was taken after assessing the security situation in the state.
“In light of the improved security situation in the Jos-Bukuru metropolis, the Plateau State Government has further relaxed the curfew, effective today, Thursday, 8th August 2024. Residents are now permitted to move freely for their lawful activities from 12 noon to 6 pm daily until further notice,” the statement read.
He assured the public that the government would continue to make decisions in the best interest of the people.
“Governor Mutfwang commended the public for their peaceful conduct during the curfew and appealed for continued cooperation with security agencies to ensure the safety and security of the state,” the statement added.
