Amid the coronavirus Pandemic, the Federal Government has reviewed the nationwide curfew put in place in the country to restrict movement from 12 am to 4 am.
The National Coordinator of the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19, Dr Sani Aliyu, who made this known during a briefing at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, on Thursday said, “We are modifying the curfew to commence from 12 midnight to 4am nationwide, effective from 12:00 tonight”.
“This does not apply to people on essential services and international travellers that might be returning from abroad.”
The PTF, following the lifting of the lockdown occasioned by the pandemic, had on May 4, 2020, imposed a nationwide curfew from 6pm to 8am. It later reviewed the timing to between 10pm and 4am on June 1, 2020.
