Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, has revised the curfew hours for motorcycle and tricycle operations in Minna, the state capital.
In a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary via X (formerly Twitter), the governor said:
“The adjustment, which takes effect from Monday, May 5, will now restrict the movement of motorcycles and tricycles from 8 PM to 6 AM daily.”
Governor Bago noted that the decision follows a fresh security assessment presented by the state security committee.
Popularly known as the “farmer governor,” Bago reaffirmed his commitment to public safety and called on residents to remain law-abiding.
This new directive comes after an earlier 6 PM to 6 AM curfew was imposed across Minna in response to rising cases of youth violence and insecurity.
